example of this large and interesting clock. A new set of ad cards is included to replace the old Sears catalog pages now on the rollers; also the top finials are missing, the clock is otherwise in excellent original condition, with a great tablet which states "Advertisements Change Every 5 Minutes, Patented July 20th 1886" (some wear to ad). The case carries the name (now weak) of J. R. Murdock, Jeweler. The calendar movement at top is complete and sound and the dial is original. NOTE that since the photo, we have been fortunate in obtaining a full set of 9 hand lettered repro ad cards for the bottom cylinders, see detail. The mahogany case as a whole retains its original finish with great patina. Height 64 inches
