This is a beautifully carved reproduction of the lyre banjo clocks made in the 1820's. The carved front panel is marked no. 33, the case bottom also marked 33-72, plus M.C.I.P., as this clock was made while Elmer was in prison for murder. The clock retains its original tablet, hands and signed dial; the movement is marked E.O. Stennes, Weymouth, Mass. The finish is original and excellent; signed Stennes dial with trademark bee logo. Compare this clock to lot 267, made by Elmer's successor, Foster Campos. All of Elmer's lyres are nice, however the provenance on this one is outstanding. Height 42 inches
