If you’re looking for a piece of playable American history, this is it.
Classic Silvertone banjo from the 1950s–60s era — the Sears house brand that offered surprisingly well-made instruments for working musicians.
This one has clearly been loved but well cared for. The tone is bright and snappy, with that unmistakable mid-century character.
Even more surprising — the original soft shell case is still holding strong after all these years.
Includes a bit of fun case candy: an original 1955 banjo instruction manual, a neat little time capsule.
Condition:
Vintage player-grade condition with honest wear from age and use. All parts appear original.
Includes:
- Original soft shell case
- 1955 instructional booklet
- A few other bits of vintage ephemera
A great piece for collectors, roots musicians, or anyone who loves vintage Americana.
