E. Howard & Co. “No. 5 Regulator” (banjo), ca. 1874. A 29-inch case with an old and dark finish that obscures any grain painting left on the dial bezel. The bottom board appears to have been expertly repaired and may be a replacement. The dial glass is original (original putty), the tablet period/original, may have been rebacked, the throat glass may be a modern replacement. The dial has been repainted, the hands are original. The E Howard 8-day, time-only movement is polished and running like a champ, driven by a Howard No. 5 weight and regulated by a Howard pendulum with a faintly damascened bob. The weight shield is a replacement and the pendulum tie-down is missing. No labels. A better than average example of this classic. $500–$800.
