I purchased the same banjo, a Remo Weather King, at a yard sale recently. I haven't been able to find much info. It appears to be quite old. Have you found anything more about it?

Washington is a name, not a brand.
Most likely a 1920's Slingerland, or Lyaon Healy.
They made 10's of thousands of these kind of banjos, with many different names.
REMO is only the name of the head.
What you are calling the head, is the peghead.
