C.1867, B. B. Lewis, Bristol, Conn, "Lewis Calendar No. 6", in very good restored condition.

23 October 2024
The mahogany case has been professionally refinished; the very bottom carving has been copied from an original by a good wood carver and all carvings have been firmly re-attached to the case. Both dials have been professionally re-papered. Retains original Hubbel 8-day lever double spring time movement. The brass tension washer from the back of the day hand has come off and is taped in a bag inside the case. This is a very difficult clock to find in any condition and this is certainly one of the cleanest and best looking examples we have seen. Note calendar label confirms this clock is made "By the Inventor". See Ly's Calendar Book, fig 441. Height 30"
