Hi

If you are talking about vintage, I have a pretty good guitar library but
can find no reference.

However I found these pics on the net:

I'm familiar with the old Windsor banjos with the six string slotted
guitar head and only five strings, a tunnel through the neck for the
fifth.

I think it is a British make, because Windsor banjos were pretty popular in
the UK maybe 70 years ago, and quite highly regarded. They also came in
standard five-string form. - The local music store had one in recently, open
back, well made, nice tone through the whole range. It sold in a couple of
days.

I've seen old British-made archtops occasionally, and it is quite possible
that the Windsor banjo company made, or had their name put on, an archtop.
