Antique American Clocks
A. Howard "No. 5 Banjo", ca. 1880's.
Albert Howard was Edward Howard's brother and ran E. Howard
& Co. 1881-1893.
Movements signed "A Howard" are occasionally found in Howard clocks.
While the movement is period,
the 28.5-inch walnut case is of modern construction and unsigned.
The glasses are newer as well, as is the dial.
this clock does not come with a weight, I hung a banjo weight (#900 in
) and it ran fine.
The pendulum stick has been repaired
and the bob is very tarnished.
Add a banjo weight and this would be an attractive example at a good price.
