Fairly certain it's not one of the later BAldwin or Gretsch-made. About your banjo and maybe getting your serial number to provide more info. Vintage 1960's Ode 5 String Banjo, Pre Baldwin. Not sure of what model it is. Serial number 822. 24 bracket, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, Grover pat pend.
Over the weekend I posted the following on the Bluegrass forum. A respondent suggested I post it here. Any info is appreciated! Yesterday my neighbor gave me an ODE 5-string banjo that he has had for years and never learned to play. Being a long time guitar player, and recent mandolin student, I had to admit I know not the first bit of beans about banjos. So, anyway, I looked the thing up and it appears to be a very early, Boulder-made original ODE. It has a Pete Seeger-type 25 fret long scale (32') neck, an aluminum 'body' (not sure what you call it on a banjo), a three piece mahogany neck (with thin light colored wood laminated between the sections of mahogany), a gorgeous Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, Grover rotomatic tuning machines and a few other details.
The 'ODE' name is pressed is into the peghead and there are no serial numbers or model numbers anywhere to be found. From what I can gather reading web sites, etc., I'm fairly certain it's not one of the later BAldwin or Gretsch-made instruments. It's been poorly stored (no case) for many years and is very corroded in spots. I'm in process of cleaning it up and it's bouncing back quite nicely. I wondered if anyone out there knew anything about these instruments they could share. One thing for sure, the thing is LOUD! Todd 3/6/2005, 14:14 น.
Todd, Thanks very much, I checked out the OME site and will probably call you guys to see if you can supply a couple of tension hook assemblies, which are missing. Other than that the instrument appears to be totally original, even has what appears to be the original ODE head. FWIW, it has had very poor care and storage, yet it is in very restorable condition. Oglesby is to be congratulated for having made such a durable instrument. (The Brazilian rosewood on the fingerboard is to die for, by the way!) My neighbor dropped the ODE in my lap on Saturady and I've been having a great deal of fun learning about it and cleaning it up. I've been a guitar player since since the early 60s but until this weekend had never played as much as a note on banjo.
I'm very happy to have this great instrument in my collection. 'Todd' wrote in message news:3L3oe.20266$4u.7313@newssvr33.news.prodigy.com. Rfd.@optonline.net 4/6/2005, 19:18 น.
I am an active duty Army soldier who will be retiring this summer and as a retirement gift to myself I am seeking to purchase a banjo and learn to play. This is something I have wanted to do for years but never found the time to devote to it.

My knowledge and experience with Banjos is very limited so excuse the ignorance. Long story short I have found what I believe to be a good deal on a quality banjo but need some advice. The banjo I am looking at is a Baldwin Ode (Model # 6505 / Ser # 8-80-63). The finger board has hearts and flowers on it and it has a wood rim with tone ring.
Wood appears to be walnut. Asking price is $1000.00. The banjo is in perfect condition and sounds fantastic. I examined is thoroughly and find nothing wrong with it at all. Is $1000.00 a decent price for a banjo of this type? Also does anyone know the year it was made of any other specifics from the model and serial number? I thank each of you in advance for your help!!
Ole, Baldwin Ode banjos were made from 1966 until the very early 1980's, so your banjo had to have been built sometime during that 14 or 15 year period. Most that I've encountered have been from the 60's and early 70's. The ones I've seen and played have been very serviceable instruments. The instrument you're considering matches the specs of the Baldwin Ode Model C, which was their midrange instrument.
You can find the model description about halfway down on this PDF file of their 1967 catalog: Hopefully someone with far greater personal experience with Baldwin Ode banjos than I have chime in on this thread, but having put together more than one five string banjo from parts, I can tell you that the asking price sounds fairly reasonable to me. Just getting parts of that quality to build one for yourself would cost close to that. So I'd definitely try to haggle on the price if I were you, but it doesn't sound outlandishly expensive to me. You might want to check with the folks on the Mudcat Cafe website, to get their opinions on the price - there are probably more dedicated five string banjo players on that forum than on this one. But it sounds like a good deal to me. I actually prefer the sound of walnut banjos to maple ones, as they have a sweeter midrange and low end, in my opinion. Hope this helps.
