At first glance this looks like a Waltham banjo with different glasses, but in fact it is a contemporary mahogany case made by a skilled craftsman who copied a Waltham case (minor variations are apparent only when you hold a real Waltham next to this). He used a circa 1930 Waltham banjo movement, dial, hands and pendulum; the movement is of the highest quality with maintaining power and bears the Waltham die stamp, and has the serial no. 6941. The eagle is improper and better replacements are available. In any case this is a well made and attractive clock. Height 37 inches
