the original painted dial has been papered over with a hand-made dial. Upper part of weight baffle is partly missing; lower section and tie-down are intact. Center tablet original but poor, lower tablet crudely repainted. Movement with solder on front plate from a repair. Note this Jerome movement is small by comparison to other large banjos made at the time. Ht 50"
