This is a Tambour No. 2, note similarity to tambour No.3 below, however the movement sits higher in the cradled base. The Chelsea sales records show that this clock was sold to Grainger-Hannon Co. on October 14, 1911 (see also lot 70). The silvered "special" dial with raised numerals is in excellent condition. The timepiece has the serial No. 60613, and numbers match on both movement and case. It appears that this case was originally satin gold, and most of the gold has been polished off (Chelsea records confirm it was finished in "Satin Gold"). These small models of Tambour 1 and 2 were discontinued in 1917. Width 9 inches, Height 6 inches
