An important patent timepiece by Aaron Willard, Jr., Boston, c. 1815 This superb banjo clock retains both of its original glasses, the lower glass depicting the Boston State House and the upper glass fitted with a thermometer. Both the dial and throat glass are inscribed with the maker’s name. While the throat glass has two horizontal cracks that have been professionally restored, the clock overall remains in a fine and original state of preservation.
