Case retains the original protective weight guides.\u00a0 All in all an nice clean example of an early production regulator banjo clock.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The #3 size to me is the most pleasing on the wall as I have found the #1, #2 to be too large for a home and the #5, #4 too small!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Howard & Davis Boston Edward Howard and David P.
