C.1850, Howard & Davis, Boston, "No. 5, Square Bottom" banjo clock in very good condition.
The case has been attractively refinished by someone who knew how to add back the rosewood graining. The paper over zinc dial is original, with some nicotine browning. Someone started to clean a spot near 7 and that area is lighter; a careful person could gently clean the entire dial with a Q-tip and appropriate cleaner, and then seal the dial with artists fixative (from any art store). (test a small spot in the margin before getting too zealous on this job). Retains original movement, weight (with numeral V), pendulum AND tablets. Someone also added a weight stop down in the throat (supposed to be a horizontal stick under the movement), but this is easily corrected -- or left as is. Also no tie-down, but these are available from Timesavers. The black and gold tablets have some minor losses but are very nice for the age of the clock. Ticks strongly. Height 29 inches
