Ephemera: String-M-Up Band (c.1900)
This picture: another eBay lift -- and inscribed "Monroe Ft. Sheridan" on the back. Anyone have an idea? The instruments look to date around c.1890-1900 and that guitar is unusually large for its day (and, presumably, gut-strung like the banjos behind it).
In other news: I spent most of the day trying to get back to lots of emails. If I missed you, please re-send word to me!
In yet other news: there's a slew of cool (banjo) ukes coming as well as a fun sunburst Harmony-made Vogue-style mandolin, too.
