"played the "faar" out of it" .... yep, Georgia through and through... I said just yesterday to my wife when she asked why the old scrap sheet in the garage had a burn mark on it.. I told her I had done caught it on FAAR!! Hahaha..... yep, apple don't fall faar from the tree. :)
The grooves in that banjo neck look like the neck on my guitar with all the grooves in it. Some of my frets are getting worn too, but I still don't play as well as either you or 63Impaller. Mine plays better with a capo on it too.
bet you got a banjo museum going on at your home by now huh lol, love it, now that i have found out what fun banjos are , i am always looking at swap shops/flea markets for one to pop up but so far no luck, dang guitars are a penny a dozen, but no banjos : (
What a joy it must be to have a banjo in your hands that has been played so much. Can you imagine the hours of use that banjo has seen? Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you may have the sniffles? If you do I hope you get well soon.
Yes ''Sears''Supertone,I have one very similar,I also think the neck is original.Mine has the star inlay on the head just like this one.. kool stuff this one is better shape than mine.

@65616larry Yea, there's a zillion guitars out there, but a good banjo is hard to come by.

Turns out these banjos were sold and marketed by sears.I will send you the link I found.I guess sears has been around a long time since 1886.

@delmontcrusier I figured Sears. Did Montgomery Ward sell 'em too, or was it just Sears? I was never sure..
