Original Listing Description

Description: This is for a RARE Elmer O' Stennes Girandole Banjo Clock, He made Fine Reproduction CLocks in from the 50 thru 70's I Believe. It has a wonderful Reverse Painted glass of Aurora Goddess of Dawn.. I bought this clock from Sony Studios who are in the process of downsizing their set decorations inventory. I bought this with some other various clocks. Still has the small Sony Sticker on back. I am not a clock dealer but I love clocks and never seen this one before. I found out the history of it is quite interesting. Apparently, this Emler Fellow who made reproductions clocks of Period clocks had shot and killed his wife and the story goes from there. you should google his name because it is quite interesting. Anyway.. It is 44" long and is missing the Eagle Finial and also a tiny "Clip" that holds the top glass face in securely. I will take out the glass top and bottom when I ship it to assure safety. I took the face off and inside has a mechanism that reads :"Kilbourn & Proctor which I found out He Used in his clocks from time to time. I did not see the weight for it so assume it is missing too.. Also, under the Pendulum there is a metal Plate which I took off and see a Name etched into the wood, looks like a "a.Tella R.I." I am not sure who he is but could be who the clock was made for. I have not tested the clock so selling as is . but everything looks pretty good. I see a couple of the "Nails" on the adornments are sticking out so will need to be addressed but not a big deal. Please Look Closely and Bid Accordingly as there will be no returns on this item,working or not. . I use USPS & Fed-Ex mostly and try to save You on shipping when I can.
