Elmer Stennes girandole banjo, 1968.
A Stennes girandole is spectacular
but I probably don't need to tell you that.
This 44-inch case is numbered '8' and appears to be dated '68'; the reverse glass
paintings are marked "M.E.R. 69".
The 8-day time-only movement is signed and numbered '4'.
It is running easily.
If you're looking for a reason to not buy this one (other than the price), there is a bit of discoloring on the eagle finial's right
wing and beak and there is a discolored ball at 5:45.
Horton's sold one in 2017 for $3275.
$2800-$3200.
