Circa 1820 Gold Front Presentation Weight Driven Banjo Clock made by Edmund Currier Salem w/ signed original glasses.  Here is a chance to own a documented clock: # 537 in The American Clock by Distin & Bishop.   The clock comes with excellent provenance from the well known collection of Buzz Burroughs and acquired by Buzz through Herschel B. Burt.     The lower glass is signed by the maker.    The overall condition of the gilding is very good and better than most examples you find that have had excessive restoration/reguilding/overpainting etc.    The hands, dial, movement, weight & pendulum are all original to the clock and the movement has been serviced and keeps perfect time.    The frames & bezel are original as well as the sidearms and chimney.   There lower box is extremely clean with undisturbed weight pan, tie down and wonderful original glue blocks.   Note also the original tapered wooden guides in the upper part of the weight channel !    These are often broken/missing/replaced on most period timepieces.

Condition: The finial is a replacement, the lower weight pan has been gone over with a coat of black paint, and the dial was professionally touched up by Burt Dial Co. (Herschel B. Burt) more than 40 years ago.   

Price: $ 13,500
