This early Clifford Essex Co banjo dates to 1900s-December 1919 after which the company began to periodically change it's name. It was purchased by the current owner in the early 1990s having been refurbished by the highly respected Pete Stanley.
This banjo is in decent condition for its age, the Remo head is showing playing wear and could do with replacing at some point. Reluctant sale but its not being played much now.
