Refinished mahogany case with repairs. The bottom left side of the case has a wood insert repair. Bottom right side has some minor cracks. Both tablets are modern replacements. Finial is not original. Hands are period and most likely original. Original dial held to the case with two screws that were L turns originally. Hard to tell if the signature is original as Aaron did not make very many banjos. Ht 33"
