C.1913, William L. Gilbert Clock Co., "Observatory", 8-day wall timepiece.

23 October 2024
This oak example has been stripped, and has a dark stain. Both glasses are original but the upper glass has lost its black background in the corners. The original dial has a little wear on some of the numbers. The calendar hand has been repaired, but the other two hands are original. The pendulum and bob are replacements (and not keeping time, you will need to get a new leader and suspension spring) There is a fair label on the back of the case (about 90%, but dirty and with tears). Height 36Ó $250-$350
