Boston-area No. 5 banjo, ca. 1860. A 29-inch dark hardwood banjo
in the style of Howard No. 5 clocks. Any grain-painting has been worn off, the finish is old and a bit dull. All three
glasses are original, the throat paint slightly faded, the lower door rebacked including the window for viewing the pendulum. The doors close with eyehooks. The painted dial is period, unsigned, and likely a replacement. The hands are also replacements,
not quite to specs. The unsigned, 8-day, time-only movement is running, driven by an iron weight. The bob is tarnished,
there is no tie-down or label. A decent example with age, running strongly. $400-$800.
