This weight banjo runs OK, but is assembled from various parts. The main case is an E. Howard No.4 (32"), with throat replaced, plus a New Haven bracket added to the bottom, and with home-painted tablets; the chimney and eagle are also afterthoughts. The movement is a Connecticut weight driven job with maintaining power (Terry/Thomas style with front hung pendulum). Lead weight is from something else altogether. Our estimate reflects the value of the parts. Total ht: 42"
