Waterbury Clock Co., "WILLARD No. 4" banjo timepiece in Flemish oak, with cabin and waterwheel tablet set. Note, at the factory, workers mis-labeled this as a Willard No. 5, which was made only of mahogany and with a different tablet set.

Porcelain dial is perfect, and hands, wt, pendulum, pulley are original. The bottom tablet had a bit of flaking and has been touched up with green paint from the rear, and although it looks "OK", it is not the best job. A dry split occurred in the bottom bracket, that has been filled. Top finial is a replacement. Otherwise, the movement is freshly clean runs with a strong beat. Ht 41"
