23 October 2024
This is the earliest of the rack and snail strike models. The clock has its original case lyre gone base. The dial, hands and upper glass are original. The lower cut-glass tablet is probably a replacement. The dial has a little fading and some minor paint loss. The refinished mahogany case is in excellent condition. For information on this movement, refer to Ken Robert's book on Joseph Ives, page 216. Height 19"
