Condition: Overall excellent original condition. Weight was removed after foto; you will need to remove baffles to re-install. Interestingly the throat and door have curved surface, with double cross banding on all front surfaces, their most expensive option. In this model, the Howard company was trying to compete with the popular Waltham banjos that had really taken over the decorator market by this time. They added maintaining power and a Geneva stop to their movement, also to compete with the Waltham offering. Ht 40" [101cm]
