The case on this clock was refinished maybe 75 years ago and much of the graining was lost (still some evident). The bezel had split, and a cherry shim about an eighth inch thick was spliced into the bezel joint. The dial and painted chapter are original, however it had flaked in the signature area and when the flake was touched up the signature was lost. The tablets themselves are a joy, just the right amount of paint loss and flaking for their age; pendulum bob original, and the proper signed movement is in place with a large single mounting screw from the rear. This size banjo in original condition recently sold in Goffstown for 6000 dollars. Height 38 inches
