E. Howard & Co. “No. 95” banjo, ca. 1923-1934.  A 40-inch mahogany case with the original glasses I believe, with some touch-up to the borders.  The dial is signed E. Howard & Co. at the bottom along with the marketer, Bigelow, Kennard & Co., Inc. out of Boston; the dial glass is convex and the hands are original.  Model No. 95 is shown on page 124 of Ly’s American Clocks Vol. 1.  The movement is signed and uses steel plates, introduced around 1930.  The Geneva stop is missing above the winding arbor, a common occurrence.  It has a lead weight and a damascened pendulum bob and is running and keeping time.  There are a number of recent sales (2017-2018) of this model in the Antique Clocks Price Guide, ranging from $475-$1100.
