161.           $10

New Haven Clock Co. “Wardrop” lever banjo, ca. 1913.  A 24-inch mahogany case with a brass eagle on top (it should be a wooden tear drop) and a reverse-painted tablet.  The case is dark with some roughness; the dial glass is beveled and convex over a signed, silvered dial with some wear.  The hands are correct. The 8-day, lever-spring movement is not signed and will not run for more than a minute.  There is some flaking to the tablet, with much lifting.  $10–$25.
