C.1895, Prentiss Improvement Clock Co, New York, "Empire with Calendar",

C.1895, Prentiss Improvement Clock Co, New York, "Empire with Calendar", oak cased 30 day clock in excellent original condition, except for a professionally refinished dial that was done some time ago and now with minor flakes. The well made oak case retains original finish that has been lightly wire wooled and waxed; it is an attractive golden color. The original rollers and date cards are in excellent order with only minor darkening due to age. The original gold trimmed windows for the day, date and month are intact We have offered several of these over the years, but it is my belief that this is the nicest one we have had. Movements seem to run/actuate fine. For a full description the Prentiss offerings plus patent drawings, see Tran Duy Ly's book titled CALENDAR CLOCKS, (1993), pages 216-221. Be careful when lifting this clock, as the outer case is held on by a hook at top, and will easily separate from the rear portion. Prentiss describes this as an "ease of service" feature in all their literature. This clock sold for $25 in 1897. Height 37 inches
