Catalog Description:

C.1830, Massachusetts 8-day weight banjo clock, some poor restoration (expensively done at a retail shop, sticker in case). The lower tablet which is flaking, is original but has been out of the door (depicts 1812 naval battle). The throat glass is a nice replacement, well done to match the lower door. The rope front gilding was been brushed over with gold paint. The old dial appears to be from another clock, as there are extra blocks in the head to allow it to be fastened with screws. The period hands are very nice. The pendulum bob is old with home-made rod and keystone (barely adequate). Despite all, runs OK. Height 33"
