The patent for this hard to find clock was held by Theodore R. Timby, who designed the clock and developed the movement. The 6 inches terrestrial globe is excellent (by Gilman Joslin, Boston, engraved by W.B.Annin) also the original interior label shows this clock to be No. 219 (of roughly 600) The case has been refinished (long ago), the acorns replaced (a bit too large), also the minute dial and the door over the minute dial is a replacement. The large circular hour dial around the globe is original, as is the movement and case hardware. Despite the shortcomings, this is an uncommon clock; our estimate reflects condition. As with most of the American clocks today, the case has the Cooperman address stamp. Height 27 inches
