Sporadic numbers have been found written in the wooden hoops of 5 ofthese earliest Fairbanks banjos.
They are 230, 243, 353, LVII (57?) and CXXVI (126?).
They are 230, 243, 353, LVII (57?) and CXXVI (126?).

Note: After considering the Pickin' list of known F&C serialnumberswhere the total number
produced was evenly divided among the 10 years of producton, I decidedthat it was not
unlikely that F&C actually started a new series with each passingyear.
The following adjusted designation by year is, like the priorauthoritativelist, probably
accurate within 1 year.

Mike Holmes has done a superb job of tracking downtheserial numbers of various
transitions in the construction of Fairbanks and Vegabanjos. He focussed, in particular,
on the change from grooved to notched tension hoops,from the metal name plate
to the F-V stamp, from thin Whyte Laydie rims tothickerrims....
