228.    $100

Sessions “Alden” banjo, ca. 1927.  A 32-inch solid mahogany banjo clock, time-only, with very nice glasses and a silvered dial.  The case has a good finish, the glasses are as shown in the catalog (Ly, Sessions Clocks, page 50).  The dial glass is convex, the gold plating on the sash is worn off.  The hands are correct.  The signed 8-day, time-only movement is running without issue.  The only flaw I can find is a missing half-round piece that should be at the very bottom of the clock base.  Hardly noticeable.  No label.  $100-$200.
