Waterbury "Willard No. 4" banjo, ca. 1906.
This is one of Waterbury's top-line banjos
in the Willard series.
It came in spring- and weight-driven forms; this one is weight-driven, time only.
inches long with the gilt wooden finial on top.
The 8-inch dial is porcelain, signed, and behind a convex glass.
The glasses
are original; the tablet shows some losses in the middle but is still very nice.
The 8-day movement is signed and running fine.
The weight is lead, behind a tin weight shield with a Waterbury pendulum in front.
There is a partial label on the back.
All in all, this is a nice clock and should keep good time.
Waterbury Willards sell for $300-$600.
