[Dixielandjazz] Gibson banjo

[Scott Anthony]

Over the years since the '20s there have been dozens, maybe hundreds, of 
models of Gibson banjos (and guitars) ranging from plain, inexpensive (and 
not terribly great sounding) to extravagently ornate and very costly with 
well designed tone rings and wonderful sound. Without knowing the model, 
year, and actual condition, even Elderly Instruments would have a very 
difficult time giving you an estimate. The value could be anything from $100 
or less to $20,000 or more.

Another source of info might be Mandolin Brothers on Staten Island in NY if 
they have survived the storm.
