DESCRIPTION:
E. Howard & Co., Boston, Mass., for W.H.C. RIGGS, Philadelphia, Penn., No. 3 size banjo timepiece, 8 day, time only, weight driven movement in a grain-painted cherry case, painted metal dial with Riggs name and Morris & Essex RR.
CONDITION:
the movement bears the imprint of Riggs, Philada. The movement is mounted in the case with a single screw from rear. The metal dial has been repainted to match the original. We are unable to prove the Morris & Essex RR notation was originally on the dial, however, the Morris & Essex Railroad ran across northern New Jersey from 1836 until 1945 when it was merged into the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western RR. Howard provided black and gold tablets to Riggs, as was their preference and to avoid confusion with his own black, red, and gold design. These tablets are original and excellent. Both top and bottom door retain original locks as was usually specified on a RR item. Includes an original key. The cherry case retains original rosewood graining. Movement is clean and ticking. Most of damask pattern remains on pendulum bob. The tie down is a replacement. The biggest drawback on this clock is that the entire back has been replaced with a mahogany board. An interesting clock.

DESCRIPTION:
E. Howard & Co., Boston, Mass., "No. 70 Regulator" wall clock, 8 day, time only, weight driven movement in an oak case with painted metal dial and reverse painted tablet.
CONDITION:
The clock retains a nice original finish that has darkened over time. The wood bezel has a four small dents. Round-headed screws securing the dial do not allow the bezel to latch properly. The lower corners and base of the clock case have been bumped and worn, exposing a small amount of unfinished wood. There are two extra holes below movement seat board, but no extra holes behind the movement, suggesting that the clock once had a thicker seat board that has been replaced. The dial has its original paint with the smallest bit of flaking around the screw mounting holes. A couple of the letters on the dial have been strengthened along their bottom edges. The original hands have a small amount of oxidation. The lower tablet has its original paint with some of the black surround starting to flake off. The pendulum has the simple circular pattern, rather than the more elaborate wavy pattern sometimes seen on this model. The signed nickel-plated movement and weight are both marked "70 ". The case and bezel are stamped "39 ". The pendulum rod is stamped "61" which is also written in pencil behind the dial. The weight cable will need to be reattached. An nice example that shows its age in an attractive manner.
