Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. fine mantle clock, "Amphion", C. 1885.

Possibly their best mantle clock, 25" walnut case with cut glass mirror panels on the sides and base. Panel on the left is broken near the middle with a small piece missing. All glass panels have lost a fraction of their backing. An outstanding door glass with birds and flowers. The walnut case has been refinished professionally and remains a very attractive clock. The biggest fault I see is the replaced paper dial. There is a good paper label on the back, now protected by plastic. Large glass mirror pendulum with leaf decorations. This 8 day clock strikes a cathedral gong and alarms on a brass bell. The small brass door latch is missing. Ly-Gilbert, page 293.
