time and strike carriage clock. Although the front glass is chipped (around $40 from Grays in Tennessee), this is otherwise an excellent clock in original condition. Japy received many awards from the French Horlogerie, crowned by the Grand Medal of Honor in 1855. Since this case style had all but disappeared by 1870, and since movement is marked with his Grand Medal-1855 stamp, we feel confident in assigning a date of 1960. It bears serial number 11043. Ticks and strikes, but has been idle for many years and would benefit from service. Height 7 inches
