Catalog Description:

C.1810, Ansel Turner Patent Timepiece banjo. This particular clock was recently reviewed in the June 2001 NAWCC bulletin by R. Perlman; see pages 295-303. It is a good first period banjo with some restoration, including regilding of the finial and the throat tablet repainted (very well done and matching well) The original lower tablet is a bit unique, a seated lady with a banner stating "S.Willard's Patent", and the American eagle above holding a banner stating "E. Pluribus". The tablet as a whole is similar to the State Seal of New York. The original dial is very good; the hands are bench made copies from the broken hour hand (included). Height 33 inches
