I have a great story to tell. 6years ago I
inherited a B&D; Silver Bell #6- Ne Plus Ultra ( Special )made in Grouton Conn.. I am a novice plectrum player but the
history of this banjo may be more significant. I would like to know everything
I can about the Banjo. - Jay

Jay, mail me some pix of your inherited bjo and tell me the readings on the dowel stick (inside the rim). I think I'll be able to give you a lot of information on this Bacon bjo.
Sincerely- Norbert
