We have this very interesting and nice sounding vintage tenor banjo from the era.  No one seems to know for sure who made these Princess models but it is likely Regal or Slingerland.  The banjo feature 26 brackets, a modern Renaissance style head, decorative white pearloid headstock overlay and Mahogany resonator with green/brown marquetry.  There are some significant marks and scratches in the resonator and it it missing some of its edge behind the tailpiece (see photos), otherwise this banjo is in very good playing condition with recent cleaning and setup for low comfortable action.  We tightened the original friction tuners and they hold tune, but replacing with modern geared tuning machines might be desirable in the future.  It comes with what is likely its original hard case, but the case is very worn and is really just for shipping protection.  The playing, feel and tone are both very nice on this instrument.
