Gilbert Manufacturing was in business from 1866 to 1871 when the factory burned. The label clearly states that this case design was patented by George B. Owen on Sept 28, 1869. The patent revolved around the top hinged lower door with small opening and tablet to show the moving pendulum. There are a few minor edge chips in the rosewood veneer, and the case refinished, but otherwise this clock is in excellent original condition, including one of the nicest original Maranville dials we have ever seen. Hands, bezel, pendulum and case hardware are all original. The interior label is excellent. This is a hard clock to find in such nice condition. Height 22 inches
