135.     $250

North Attleboro-style square-bottom banjo, ca. 1850.  A third example of this style of early production banjo, this one with carved side-arms and unusual glasses.  An old and likely original painted iron dial in good shape, held in place with L-turns, and period hands.  I have not seen this style of glasses before and assume they are old repaints. The 8-day time-only movement is unsigned, as is typical, driven by an iron weight.  The pendulum bob is period, the eagle finial is old.  The clock is running without issue.  $250-$500.
