I did find two of the four different models that had been listed but were no longer available here: I haven't seen any of these available for sale either. or with this metal resonator plate on the back. I've not seen any of this model with this pick guard. The clasps are intact and work, the lock mechanism closes but I do not have the key to lock it, but I imagine it would work fine if a locksmith created a key for it. The tuning pegs are the original geared mechanical ones.The case is in surprisingly good shape for being original.the handle is intact without repair but it's delicate so I haven't used it. Also a double-headed metal key of some kind with a hole in the center, the wrench ends of the key seem to fit on the nuts that go around the drum for adjusting them. appears original and has sn-6 tenor on the little cardboard box. It appears all original and inside the accessory box (in the case) there is a very delicate paper sleeve with picks.and another with a string in it. It appears complete with only a couple of the nuts missing (from around the drum face area *excuse my terminology, I'm a novice). The one I have has what appears to be the original case, a metal pick-guard on the front of the banjo, and a metal resonator plate with thumbscrew mount on the back that is decorated with cockatoo birds etched or frosted into the metal. I would have posted this in that thread but it was locked and I could not respond. It's a 1920's Lyon & Healy 4 string tenor banjo, like the one that was posted on this thread:
I recently picked up my first banjo in trade.
