New Haven Warwick Banjo Clock, circa 1920-1930?

This is a small time only banjo clock made by New Haven Clock Company. It's about 24 inches tall including the eagle. The movement is an unsigned brass 8-day movement of the balance wheel and pin-pallet type. The face is metal with painted on numerals. The bottom compartment opens and provides a convenient place to store the winding key. The tablet is a print and looks to be original. I have found very little information about this clock, but it appears to have been made in during the first half of the twentieth century, probably in the 1920's or 1930's. Any additional information would be appreciated.

I acquired the clock in an auction on Feb. 18, 2008. The clock movement was very dirty but otherwise in nice condition. The sidearms had been painted. The bazel, being brass, was stripped and polished and looks very nice. The sidearms, not being brass, were cleaned and repainted. The rest of the clock was cleaned up and polished to make very nice looking, if not especially valuable, time piece. The clock runs but gains a few minutes each day and is not a great timekeeper.
