North Attleboro-style banjo, 1840-1870. This 29-inch banjo would appear to
be an amalgam of styles from the North Attleboro makers in the mid-1800’s. The case is clearly 1800’s-vintage, mahogany or walnut
without grain-painting, and the modern glasses are painted in Howard colors but with a Hatch-style design on the tablet. The
throat glass may be older. The pendulum stick and bob are Hatch style (where the bob hooks onto the stick). The movement
is unsigned, the lead weight old, the dial modern with proper hands. A nice looker. It is running. $350-$500.
