C.1900, New Haven Clock Co., "Westminster Chime No. 3", 8-day time/strike chime clock, in excellent original condition.
The oak case is in very nice condition with original finish and applied trimmings. There is a small age crack above the door. These trimmings were offered in bronze or oxidized silver. The movement chimes on 4 round gong rods and sounds the hour on fifth larger gong. (Note this clock has the gong standard attached to a special echo chamber which improved their sound, and New Haven actually called it a "Bell" chime, however this model was never made with actual bells; they were only trying to capitalize on the market created by Sonora chimes). The chime movement is wound by removing a little brass button below the door. The dial is very clean with some oxidation of the silver. The hands are original. The label on the back states that the movement was patented in Britain and Ireland. Height 18.5 inches
