Its a William Lange White Swan 17 fret tenor from the late twenties. White lacquered neck, rim, and resonator. Swan inlay as position markers on the neck.

I believe there is some sort of forum rule against using the words "coolest" and "banjo" in the same sentence here.

But, yes, that is nifty. ("Nifty" is allowed)

it is, indeed, the bee's knees

and it appears to be set up with nylguts for re-enrant tuning, like a ukulele.... just like I do with old 17 fretters
