The rosewood case has been stripped, but is in nice condition with only a couple of veneer chips on the door and on the base. The dial is a little dark from age and someone has tried to enhance the numbers with black enamel; trademark info is weak and touched up. The hands have been painted. The clock has a label that reads "Maranville Calendar Clock manufactured for N. C. Hyde and Co., by Gilbert ManfÓg Co., Winstead, CT". A similar example can be found in Tran Duy Ly's Gilbert Clocks, page 73. Interesting English Royal crest tablet is original, and helps assure us that N. C. Hyde was an English agent. Glass loose in bezel. Height 24"
