Richelieu Ne Plus Ultra Golden Eagle
You don't have to know Latin to see that "Ne Plus Ultra" means "None Better" when it comes to Richelieu banjos from Oregon, Wisconsin.
This 1975 model 6003 Ne Plus Ultra Golden Eagle (inventory #JA2632) lives up to its name with multi-colored pearl inlay, engraved gold-plated hardware, a raised-head tone ring and a walnut resonator with a wood marquetry eagle.
It's in exceptionally fine condition and priced at $5,000.
