We studied this long and hard to be sure it wasn't a home-made clock, and feel reassured that it is probably a prototype or limited production model that simply never found favor and never made the Welch catalog. The base is lacking 4 bun feet. Movement is dirty, but ticking and striking through the dirt. Old finish on all parts and original dial. Old hands do not match. Height 16"
