You are viewing a magnificent all original timepiece by Sawin & Dyar Mahogany & Giltwood Banjo Clock, Boston, MA. Signed & painted metal dial. Patriotic reverse painted glasses. 8 day time only weight driven brass movement which has been ultrasonically cleaned and serviced. The braided nylon cord was replaced. The hands are original steel hands. Comes with original key not pictured. 41? X 11″ x 4″. It is in excellent condition for it’s age. I’ve searched everywhere and could not find another one like it. The only flaws are a piece of wood has broken off where the eagle sits. The four corners of the inlaid wood on the bottom door are missing. Other than that the clock is amazing. This clock is that old. The mechanism is in excellent condition and keeping accurate time. If properly serviced this clock should last another 200 plus years and this is proof of this. The reverse painting is in excellent condition which shows a little wear due to its age. When received, you will have to unscrew the throat to reinstall the weight. If you feel you cannot do this, it will be your responsibility to have a professional to reinstall this. Please view all pictures and if need be contact me with any questions before making an offer.
