C.1850, Litchfield Manufacturing Co., 8-day time/strike shelf clock.

23 October 2024
The paper maché case with mother-of-pearl inlay is in very nice condition with most of the original painted decoration intact and looks to have an original finish. The dial is a replacement, being made of wood with paper dial pasted on. The case retains its original and unusual brass movement. The movement is currently mounted in the case with spacers to raise it up to allow for the hands to clear the thick dial. Both glasses are original, although the bottom one is now clear. Most of the label is gone, but enough remains to identify the manufacturer. With a proper dial, hands and the tablet redone this clock could be improved quite nicely; estimate reflects current condition. Height 19 inches
