E. Howard & Co. “No. 70”, ca. 1923. A 31.5-inch black walnut case with a dark but
polished finish. A bit of abrasion to the front lower edge of the base and the upper inside edge of the tablet, but neither
is particularly noticeable. Both glasses are original, with some touch-up to the backing on the tablet. The 12-inch dial
might be early 20th century original, with a scuff at the 7. Hands are original. Movement is signed, running, with original
pendulum stick and damascened bob. There is a No. 70 weight, possibly a replaced weight shield, and a pendulum bob tie-down. No label. Horton’s has sold walnut examples of this model for from $1000 to $1875 of late. $1000-$1500.
