Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co., "8 Inch Drop Octagon", C. 1901.

I wouldn't call this a short drop, and it isn't large enough at 20.5" to be a long drop. Nice old case veneered with rosewood and basically still in nice condition, just a few corner tics. The finish is original and no doubt some would clean the case, but it sure looks good dark. It has a new paper dial on the old pan, otherwise all original. The movement is 8 day time only, fancy pendulum. There is a bonus, a full label on the back. Identical to clock pictured in Ly-Gilbert #403.
