Updated on May 22, 2026: This has been sold. Banjo clock produced by Waltham Watch Company, dating to around 1930. Housed in a mahogany case with reverse-painted glass panels. The lower one is of Independence Hall. Above it, the Liberty Bell, with a pineapple above it. Fitted with a brass 8-day, weight-driven time-only movement with maintaining power. The dial is signed “Waltham,” and the movement is marked “Waltham Watch Co., U.S.A.” In very, very good condition. It includes the key, but I've not wound it to see if it works. Size: 44" x 10" x 4" Shipping: $75. Please allow two weeks for shipping. Historical background From Wikipedia: "The Waltham Watch Company, also known as the American Waltham Watch Co. and the American Watch Co., was a company that produced about 40 million watches, clocks, speedometers, compasses, time delay fuses, and other precision instruments in the United States of America between 1850 and 1957.
