C.1850, Howard and Davis, No. 5, Square Bottom, banjo, weight driven, 8-day timepiece.

Condition: this clock has had a hard life and needs some attention. The cherry case has been refinished and all of the graining wiped off, the dial has been repainted and part of the signature wiped away. When the dial was repainted they put an extra set of holes in the surround and turned the movement slightly. Suspension spring has failed. Tie down is missing; lower baffle replaced. Top glass cracked. On the plus side, the clock retains original movement (signed Howard and Davis), original pendulum, original weight with "V" imprint, and very good original tablets. Would be $3000+ if all original. Height 29 inches
