I saw this last night on Pawn Stars and fell out of my seat! It's a Slingerland 1930's May Bell banjo. Apparently not worth much ($500). What a beautiful instrument. Here are some not so good photos. I have seen Rose Pearl banjos but never sea green.

Tried to add more photos but this uploading is not working all of a sudden. Sorry.
I saw it awhile ago I can't believe that was all it was worth.
$500 is probably not all it's worth. If Rick bought it for the shop for only $500, he's going to sell it for $800-900.

Did they buy it? If yes call the store (ask for Chumlee :D) and buy that sucka~! Can't be many of those around and you've pretty much cornered the market on Sea Green pearl items. Good luck.
Not a guru just havin fun with some old dusty drums.

The owner didn't sale it, that was the appraisal from Jesse from cowtown guitars. He has a good bearing on vintage instruments.
