Waltham Clock Co. banjo, ca. 1930.
A 42-inch mahogany-cased banjo with a weight-driven
movement and "Perry's victory on Lake Erie" tablet.
The case is unmarred, with brass sidearms, a brass eagle finial, and two
original tablets.
The painted dial is original, signed, and sits behind a bowed glass.
The 8-day time-only movement is
signed but won't run for more than a few minutes.
It likely needs to be disassembled and cleaned; the weight is lead.
There is full weight shield and a pendulum tie-down.
An identical model sold at Vogt in 2020 for $500.
