"This is a very old (I think 1905) English made banjo from Birmingham, I bought this banjo back in 1993 from Balmain Market in Sydney, wrote all my banjo songs on it and used it on the King Hokum and Jungle Blues albums, unfortunately it was lost along with my Dobro in that famous NYC taxi cab shortly after the Jungle Blues album was recorded." - Source.
