The Golden Wreath is one of Deering's classic styled banjos, and like its partner, the Golden Era, it uses parts different from those in the standard Deering line.

The name of this model is derived from the inlay pattern, which is commonly called the "wreath" pattern.

This banjo has an assortment of very small dings and bumps, but is clean and well set up, and has no significant fret wear.

Good condition and was $2450, but now it's here on consignment with a hardshell case for only $2250. Sold

see and hear Steve Dilling of IIIrd Tyme Out playing this banjo (6 mb).

	The Golden Wreath has a classic "double-cut" peghead and has the traditional "wreath" inlay. The right side of the very point of the headstock has suffered a bump, causing the chip visible in the photo.			The tuners are smooth, planetaries. The serial number has been smudged in the photo to discourage scammers.
	The head is new--a Ludwig-made, 5-Star brand--and there is no tarnish on the nickel-plated parts.			The Golden Wreath has a mahogany neck and resonator. The serial number has been smudged in the photo to discourage scammers.
	The ebony fingerboard has the so-called "wreath" MOP inlay pattern, so-named because of the 3rd fret inlay .			The mahogany neck is in good condition with a few small dings and capo dents.
	The mahogany resonator has a number of small bumps, rubs, and dings, but nothing serious.			The binding is off-white, and the flange has the traditional G****n hole pattern.
