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.
