Simon Willard American Banjo Clock: time only weight driven with a 7″ original dial. The name Simon Willard, Boston was painted on after the dial already had some good age to it. The movement is early and proper for this case.
(No pendulum ball. The dial’s paint is crazed and has some loss to the paint by the L screws. The gilt paint is original and shows wear in some places. Both glass plates are replacements. The eagle finial is not as old as the case.)
