538.    $1075

E. Howard No. 5 Banjo, ca. 1875.  A nice example, with good but dark grain painting on the front, a nicely repainted dial, and two good painted glasses.  All three glasses are old.  I suspect the lower glasses have been rebacked.  There is a scratch in the throat glass, but it is not obvious.  Proper hands and a pendulum bob that has been polished near to death, but the damascening is there.  The pendulum tie-down screw and tab are missing, and I believe the base has been replaced, probably due to a weight-fall.  The signed No. 5 movement is running, driven by a No. 5-labeled weight. No maker’s label, but that is not unusual.  We have been selling nice examples like this for upwards of $1500.  $1200-$1800.
