Ned Howard was very proud of this clock and it hung in his front reception room along with a Howard banjo. This particular clock uses Ives early "type 2 pony shoe" movement and will be of interest to all Atkins collectors. Very few of these exist, since this design was only used during the first year of business. The rosewood case was refinished years ago. The movement is quite dirty, but will tick. All components are intact, including the original chains. Bottom tablet appears old, with restoration. Dial is original with minor paint loss. Old spade hands should be clubs, but look OK. Details on patent rights and this movement can be found in Ken Robert's book on Ives, pages 265-86. Height 24.5 inches
