Serial # 325 on dowel Stamped "John C. Haynes & Co. Boston. Dowel also stamped "Bay State". Scale length 25 in. Head dia. = 10 7/8 in. 30 hooks Rolled-over tone ring. The peghead is grafted onto the neck. This is done more neatly than most repairs.... I wonder if the banjo was built this way to give the appearance of a backstrap ? See Banjo Hangout discussion at banjohangout.org Fingerboard inlays are identical to my Gatcomb Standard, see same BHO topic for discussion on the inlays.
