A. Howard “No. 5 Banjo”, ca. 1880’s. Albert Howard was Edward Howard’s brother and ran E. Howard
& Co. 1881-1893. Movements signed “A Howard” are occasionally found in Howard clocks. While the movement is period,
the 28.5-inch walnut case is of modern construction and unsigned. The glasses are newer as well, as is the dial. Although
this clock does not come with a weight, I hung a banjo weight (#900 in Parts) and it ran fine. The pendulum stick has been repaired
and the bob is very tarnished. Add a banjo weight and this would be an attractive example at a good price. $250-$500.
