This example of an antique banjo clock made by Reuben Tower has round mahogany frames and features a lower glass decorated with a bucolic scene of a shepherdess leading sheep through a gate. Antique banjo clocks of this form are rare from this region and exhibit a number of distinguishing characteristics. Most easily noticed are the distinct side arms with rectangular bar dividers. A similar example can be found in Paul Foley's "Willard's", page 85. The brass movement is of eight day duration and is in fine running condition.

Height overall: 32 5/8"
