E.O. Stennes "Experimental Banjo", 1968.
The truth is that there is nothing experimental
to this banjo, Stennes just liked the title.
It is a standard Stennes banjo, 34 inches in length with inlaid banded borders,
a convex dial glass, a large brass eagle finial, and reverse painted glasses; the case parts are numbered '33', and the date marked
The dial shows one spot of peeling.
The 8-day, time-only, weight-driven movement is signed and running.

I found a sale for this model at John
McInnis Auctioneers in 2018 for $1200.
$1000-$1200.
