So I recently found this old vintage unmarked banjolin on eBay. I’ve been digging everywhere across the internet just to try and figure out who made it, but I can’t find anything concrete. I have managed to find another one on reverb that looks just like it, but it is also a John Doe. However the person who listed the other one seems to think it might be a Favilla Brothers banjolin. I don’t think they’re FAB banjolins. After doing more digging and extensive research, I finally ran across Oscar Schmidt’s sovereign banjolin which seems to have many similarities, but again I am just unsure. So that’s what brings me here. I thought maybe someone in this forum would have more information than what’s posted out there. My final thoughts are that it may be a Sovereign or maybe another one of Oscar Schmidt’s banjolins. Let me know what you guys think!
