Catalog Description:

C.1858, Howard and Davis, Boston, Mass., "Banjo No. 4" , with unorthodox but attractive restoration by Gerald Ruscoe. A bracket was added to the bottom of the case and both glasses, although old, are not original (great painting of king Neptune is flaking in the sky area). A chimney was also added with a finial. The high point of this timepiece is the addition of brass side arms! The original rosewood graining is now gone, the case nicely refinished. The signed dial is original, along with the hands, movement and weight. With the proper glasses, the additional cabinet items could be removed for a final restoration.....or enjoy as is (it really is good looking). An original No. 4 is worth around $2500, and our estimate reflects condition. Height 38"
