New Haven “Whitney”, ca. 1932.  A 30-inch banjo in a “mahogany finished case” with artistic panels in the throat and tablet.  There is a silvered dial behind a convex glass; an 8-day pendulum movement and a two-rod “ding-dong” strike.  The case is fine, the images a bit dull, and the movement ticks but the hands don’t move.  Some kind of adjustment/repair is needed.  Whitneys are not uncommon, selling for around $100 on eBay.  $50-$100.
