C.1835, Joshua Seward, Boston (Charlestown), weight banjo with restorations.
Ned Howard had this clock hanging over a steam radiator, and parts of the half round front molding had fallen under the radiator, and we had to glue them on; fortunately none of them got lost, but you will have a little finishing to do. The dial is original, with wear, and about a third of the signature is visible; enough to confirm the signature is identical to the one photographed in Foley's book titled Willard's Patent Timepieces, page 66, fig 149. Clock retains original movement, also like that shown an page 66, as well as arrow hands, and the unique movement attachment which is two studs threaded into the rear of the case, which project through holes in the rear plate, and a pin through the studs. The one minus on the clock is the crudely painted bottom tablet, which could be re-done by a professional. Height 34 inches
