Here is a 1924, Boston, MA. made Vega Vegaphone Professional tenor banjo with it's original hard shell case in very good condition. Serial number for this banjo is 74533. The 10 15/16" head has a tear in it, but it was an original Vega head, so we decided to leave it on instead of putting a new head on it. All parts are original except for the new strings installed. There is some wear on the first fret but the rest of the frets look good. For being over 100 years old, the banjo is in great shape.
