1925 Bacon and Day Silver Bell No. 1 All original Five String Banjo

Price: $4,000.00 USD

Up for sale is a vintage Bacon & Day Silver Bell No. 1 tenor banjo, serial number 17470, which dates to approximately 1925. This is a classic early Silver Bell from the golden age of banjo making, with the tone, look, and craftsmanship collectors and players appreciate.

The Silver Bell No. 1 is known for its strong projection, clear note separation, and classic old-time / jazz-era sound. This example has the vintage character and visual appeal you’d expect from an instrument nearly a century old, making it a great fit for collectors and players alike.

This banjo shows normal age and wear consistent with a vintage instrument. It would make a great addition for anyone looking for a real pre-war era Bacon & Day with history and personality. Sold as-is.
