C.1889, E.N. Welch Mfg. Co., "Cabinet No. 3", 8-day time/strike mantel clock.
This is quite a nice polished mahogany case with original finish, losses as noted. The gold highlights in the incised areas on the front have been touched up in places. The porcelain dial has a chip at the pendulum adjustment arbor, as well hairlines at 10 and 5. The beveled door glass is perfect. A little decorative knob that covers a screw hole in the top of the case is missing; lower left front panel is missing a small piece of mahogany, neither is very noticeable. The hands are original. The case houses a "Patti" type movement with open escapement. In 1889 Welch modified their movement to include visible escapements, for which demand was increasing. This is one of the cases designed to accept the new style movement. There is a very nice label on the back ; overall a decent clock. Height 17 inches
