E. Howard & Co. “No. 95” banjo, ca. 1923-1934.  A 40-inch mahogany case with the original glasses and tablets.  The lower tablet depicts the Boston State House and both glasses are in excellent condition.  The dial glass is convex, the dial holds the original paint and is signed, with the original hands.  There are two small chips in the dial.  The 8-day time-only movement is signed and running, driven by a proper lead weight and a pendulum bob with an engraved appreciation.  Two tin weight shields and a complete pendulum tie-down.  A very nice example that could be improved by polishing the brass bezel and side-arms.  AAC sold a similar example in 2024 for $850.  $750–$900.
