Offered for sale is my VEGA Vegaphone 'Professional' Tenor Banjo, Serial Number: 85083 which dates its manufacture to 1926.   Manufactured by the Vega Company in Boston, Mass. USA.   The banjo has  the 'Tubaphone' tone ring, has 28 tension hooks, and is gold plated although the plating is wearing thin in some places.   I have played this instrument for over thirty years, and the tone has been much admired.   This is an opportunity to acquire a quality instrument.
