Bacon Belmont 5-string Banjo c. 1960 Size_ A style Marc later moved to BerkeleyThis is a lovely Belmonte with the famed Bacon name, and probably made by the Gretsch company in New York who owned Bacon at the time. It's in great condition with comfortable action and plenty of shine remaining on the metal components and very few marks to show for tis 60 years. Must have been under someones bed for a while. Comes with a modern black resonator sized hard case also in very good condition.
