1886 Cigar Box Banjo Plans Poster - an artistic reprint of real, vintage plans!

Description

This poster features a reprint of classic cigar box banjo (guitar) plans, which originally ran in the St. Joseph Herald newspaper in Michigan in 1886. These plans, which seem to be based on the classic Uncle Enos banjo plans by Daniel Carter Beard, are a classic example of early homemade instrument plans featuring cigar boxes as the body. Shane Speal recently rediscovered these vintage plans as part of the C. B. Gitty/Cigar Box Nation historical research and preservation initiative.
Your purchase of this inexpensive poster helps support our research and historical preservation
work, ensuring that more gems like this will be re-discovered and made available to the homemade instrument community!
The text and diagrams on this poster are legible so you could use this to build your own replica 1886 cigar box banjo if you wanted. P
rinted on 12 x 18" brown kraft paper, it would be
a perfect decoration for your workshop, man cave or music room. They also make great gifts for the music lover in your life!
Designed and printed in the USA!
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE READ...
We ship packages via the U. S. Postal Service, either First Class Mail International or Priority Mail International. While these services generally get packages anywhere in the world in 1 to 2 weeks, sometimes it can take longer - this is almost always because the Customs Office in your country delays the package. In some cases it has taken up to 4 weeks for a package to be delivered. We will not consider an item as "lost" until at least 30 days have passed from the time of shipment. Also, you may be responsible for local customs duties and taxes depending on your country's laws. We mark package values honestly, as required by the laws of the United States, so please don't ask us to declare a false value, or declare a package as a gift. If you are an international buyer, please be aware of these realities BEFORE buying.
Recycled Materials...
We use recycled cardboard as packaging materials whenever possible. Those of you who care about the environment can appreciate the value of this, and everyone can appreciate the fact that it helps keep our prices lower since we don't have to buy new cardboard for packaging. This may mean that our packaging materials occasionally show some shipping scuffs, labels, printing or other markings, but used cardboard does the job just fine. Hopefully you will find a way to recycle it on your end too!
Best Value vs. Cheapest Price...
Whenever possible, we try to make sure we have the best price on eBay for the products we offer. In the rare cases when another seller beats our price by a few pennies, we stand by my claim that our offer is the best VALUE on eBay. We are always available by e-mail to answer questions as best we can for anyone who buys products from us and needs advice. We certainly cannot answer every question authoritatively, but at the very least we can recommend where to go for more information. With C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply, you can be sure that your items will be well packaged, will ship on time, and will get to you as fast as USPS first class mail can deliver it.
