Beautiful Ludwig Ace top-tension plectrum banjo. Gold-plated metalwork, including pancake tuners and original tailpiece. Marquetry all over rim and resonator. The Ace model was the middle of the Ludwig line, but might have been the most aesthetically pleasing of the lot — fancier than the “plain Jane” Kingstons, Bellevues, etc., but more tasteful/less gaudy than the Chiefs, etc. This one has a beautiful clear tone. Now dated to 1932.
