Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. hanging, "Columbia", C. 1901.

23 October 2024
Catalogs say the clock was made in oak only, and stands 37.5" high. Not so, this one is either cherry or a close relative. There is a nice label on the back, great glass featuring several cherubs and musical instruments. This is a rare model in that it is time, strike, and calendar. Paper dial has been replaced. 8 day runner strikes a Cathedral Gong, clean and is running very nicely. Original brass bob and wood stick. The ornate case was cleaned some time ago, it has a lot of carvings, and good turned finials, everything there and original. This is a great example of this model. Ly-Gilbert #361.
