This clock is from Peg Robertson's collection, and when she lived in St. Louis, Andrew Miller photographed this clock for his book on calendar clocks (fotos 421, 422, 423, pg 132). You will see on close comparison of the veneer patterns and the label that it is identical. Even imperfections in the re-carved side arms and new pendulum stick can be compared positively with Miller's foto. Prior to the foto, Andrew removed a piece of black paper that is backing the flaked tablet, and we chose to leave it in place. This clock has hung idle for some time, but the movement is complete and sound and needs only some oiling to get it going. Height 34 inches
