Antique American Clocks July 2021
80. $250
North Attleboro-area banjo, 1840-1870? This is not a Seth Thomas banjo, despite what the
dial says. Seth Thomas did not make this style of banjo. The 29-inch walnut case has faint grain painting; the glasses
are newer. The zinc dial has been repainted and improperly labeled; the hands are appropriate. The 8-day, time-only movement
is unsigned and mounted by diagonal corner screws. The pendulum has round keyhole and a half-round wooden stick that has been
stripped. The bob attaches on a hook, like other North Attleboro banjos. The weight is cast iron, possibly newer issue. The throat weight shield is missing. The clock is running without issue. $250-$400.
