Description: This is a working clock which has a thumb-size weight which swings left to right to assist the mechanism. There is also an original key to wind up the spring. I have no knowledge of clocks but I hope this helps clarify the operation of this impressive piece.. New Haven Clock Co. "Willard Chime" Model Weight Driven Banjo Clock. 8-day time only weight-driven movement. Cataloged in 1929 (this clock is dated 1929, 1 - 760), for $72.80 new, quite a sum at the time. It was serviced in 1997, and operates completely. The wood and glass are in excellent condition as is the internal movement mechanisms. There is some flaking of the painted pictures on the back of the glass. I have coated the back with clear varnish to prevent further flaking This particular Wall-Clock has a special history.
