Description

Waltham Watch Co. “No. 1500” banjo, ca. 1927. A 41-inch weight-driven banjo in a light-colored walnut case with near-perfect glasses and a clean dial; I believe the wooden finial is original. Both the dial glass and the dial are slightly convex; this clock looks like it is brand-new. The 8-day, time-only movement is signed Waltham Watch Co. with the serial number 8714. Unfortunately, I cannot keep it running and it will need attention. It is driven by a lead weight and a heavy pendulum bob. There is a note of previous ownership inside that states that it was bought in 1927. AAC sold a similar example last summer for $700. $500–$800.
