Catalog Description:

C.1830, Boston Area, 8-day presentation banjo, with restorations. This case has been refinished and the gold leaf covered over with gold paint. The numbers on the dial have been strenghtened. The dial now bears the signature of Aaron Willard, Boston. The throat glass is old and is probably original to the case. The lower tablet is a replacement. The bracket has losses to the gesso and one of the ball ornaments is missing. The top plinth is a replacement, along with the eagle finial (too small). The weight baffle in the bottom of the case is a replacement. The movement is original to the case and is held in with two screws. This is a period banjo that has had a hard life, but which looks very good on the wall. Height 40" $1,750-$2,250
