Authentic 1920s banjo mandolin (banjolin), likely a Montgomery Ward Concertone model built in Chicago by Harmony, Regal, or Slingerland. This vintage 8-string mandolin banjo features a 9" calfskin head, original hardware, and a straight neck — recently restrung and professionally inspected by a luthier  making it both a collectible antique and a playable instrument.
