Description
This clock was restored around 1920 and W. Sprague glasses of Mt. Vernon were installed and a new iron dial applied at the time. 80 years later, the glasses are flaking (some touch up to background, + shellac makes them look older than they are) and the dial has turned darker and with rust on the reverse. The movement is a period movement, but with an hour wheel and pipe that were remade at the time of restoration; the hands also are 1920. Despite the restorations, this is a good looking banjo, ready to enjoy. Height 34 inches
