Wayne Cline banjo, ca. 1980.
A 32-inch banjo with cross-banded trim around the throat
and tablet, the latter showing Perry's victory over the British on Lake Erie in 1813.
The painted dial is signed Wayne R. Cline,
Bowling Green, KY, behind a bowed glass in the sash.
The 8-day, time-only movement is signed as well, made by the C.A. Lenderman
It is running without issue, driven by a lead weight also signed.
The eagle finial on top is new.
is an uncommon model from Mr. Cline and I did not find a match in Horton's recent sales or in the Antique Clocks Price Guide; he more
commonly made diamond-head banjos.
$900-$1200.
