C.1872, Welch, Spring and Co., Round Head Regulator No. 2 (variant), 2-weight, double dial calendar clock, in good condition, with case refinished.
This must be an earlier model as the dial surround and bezel are veneered and different from what is found in the Welch catalog; note this case is nearly identical to lot 95 in our Oct 2001 catalog, that had been re-veneered. These veneered bezels were apparently the earliest, giving way to cheaper grained bezels later. The Lewis dial has discolored a little from age; calendar label is excellent; mechanism is working properly. The upper dial is original, with minor flakes. The veneer on the bezel is in pretty good condition for its age (some bubbles), and the veneer on the dial surround is fine except for an age crack and a couple of minor chips. The clock has a fair to good label, with some loss, + 2 repair stickers. For details on the more common No. 2, see Tran Duy Ly's book titled Calendar Clocks, page 342. Height 34"
