clock advertising Fine Liquors, and in outstanding original condition. This is a rare prototype or original issue of this clock, done in solid wood, with original paint and stenciled lettering. Later these were cast metal, a much cheaper medium in manufacturing such an odd shape. This example is about the best example we have ever seen. With typical Gilbert lever movement, with F/S lever above 11 o'clock. Minor chips in paint commensurate with the age of the piece. Height 22" $300-500
