 Paramount banjo Reply » 
posted by: Charlie Weatherbee @ 2:04:46 PM  ·  Thursday, October 23, 2003
I have a Paramount banjo which I am unable to determine it's manufactured date. It has two patented numbers: Wood hoop - #1576981 (1921)
Tone ring - #1550826 (1925)
The peg head inlay simply says "Paramount" and the tone ring holes are somewhat flower shaped.
Help appreciated.........

Paramounts show their serial number stamped on the inner rim. With this number go to http://www.whitetreeaz.com/vintage/banjomfg.htm#PARAM
to find the year.
