T.C. Burleigh, Jr. presentation banjo, ca. 1980.  A 40-inch weight-driven reproduction banjo in the style of Willard presentation banjos from the early 1800’s.  Gilded gesso on the beaded front, base and acorn finial.  There is some loss to the gilding on the balls around the bottom.  Both gilded glasses are original and in excellent shape.  The painted dial is signed, the 8-day time-only movement is signed Kilbourn & Proctor, Inc. and is running.  The lead weight is a replacement.  We sold one in 2017 for $1500; we thought we sold this one last January for $1385 but the winning bidder never paid.  $1000-$1500.
