Up for sale is a beautiful, 100% original 1926 Weymann Style 135 Tenor Banjo, handmade in Philadelphia, USA.

Based on the serial number (39369), this instrument was crafted in the first half of 1926, making it a true 100-year-old jazz-age survivor. It is in exceptionally fine and clean condition for its age.

Key Features & Condition:

• Originality: Completely untouched and 100% original. No modifications or modern replacement parts.
• Neck & Playability: The maple neck is straight and the frets have plenty of life left. Plays beautifully.
• Pot & Resonator: Features the classic thick maple rim and the signature Weymann "slip-on" maple resonator, allowing you to easily switch between open-back and resonator styles.
• Hardware: All original tuners, hooks, and hardware are intact, clean, and fully functional.
• Case: Includes the original vintage hardshell case. The case shows significant wear and tear (a bit broken/worn), but all latches work, and it still protects the banjo perfectly and adds incredible historical value.

This is a rare opportunity to own a collector-grade, investment-worthy Weymann banjo that sounds just as crisp and powerful as it did in 1926. Perfect for early jazz, trad jazz, or Irish traditional music.

Shipping & Terms:

• Buyer pays all shipping costs. Estimated ("Ship with Reverb") $80 - $110 USD.
• International buyers outside the EU are responsible for any local customs duties, taxes, or import fees upon arrival.
• The banjo will be packed professionally, with de-tensioned strings, and shipped fully insured with a tracking number.
