I posted an ad for a Banjo uke on Craigslist, and I got a response. Seller says it's a Stromberg-Voisinet from somewhere between 1921 and 1930. I'm a new uke player (less than one month). Any help would be appreciated.
Here's what was said about it:
good condition with case. has elton resonator, closed back,good skin. fret board completely covered with what looks like mother of pearl. neck & body looks like walnut. has lighter inlay.
They had it looked at and found this out:
Its a Stromberg-Voisinet.it was made between 1921 and 1930.In 1931 this became the Kay musical co. the fret board and peghead is covered with pearloid.

So what do you think? Good Deal? Bad Deal? See anything wrong with it from the photos?
