Waltham Clock Co. banjo, ca. 1930.  A 42-inch mahogany-cased banjo with a weight-driven movement and “Perry’s victory on Lake Erie” tablet.  The case is unmarred, with brass sidearms, a brass eagle finial, and two original tablets.  The painted dial is original, signed, and sits behind a bowed glass.  The 8-day time-only movement is signed but won’t run for more than a few minutes.  It likely needs to be disassembled and cleaned; the weight is lead. There is full weight shield and a pendulum tie-down.  No label.  An identical model sold at Vogt in 2020 for $500. $300-$500.
