This was Gilbert's answer to the Garfield, one of Seth Thomas' popular clocks at the time. In decades of collecting, I have never come across this model in the flesh. However, unlike the catalog details, this is an 8-day spring clock, striking on a cathedral gong (no weights). The movement looks to always have occupied the spot and there are no extra holes. Label on rear of case is very good; original dial, hands and seconds bit. Although not a weight clock, it is sure to receive active bidding. Original finish on the walnut is wonderful with nice patination. Height 30 inches
