C.1877, Welch, Spring and Co., patent ÓGale Drop Calendar No. 2Ò, with equation of time and moon phase dial, 8-day strike.

Condition: This clock is in remarkable original condition, the 2 issues to note are about half of the original label missing, and someone has gone over the time track and calendar numerals (plus the X and I)on the original paper dial with a fountain pen (freehand), to fill in for wear from setting the hands. This was done some time ago and many collectors will find it part of the personality of the clock, purists might object. Best part is the fabulous original finish over well figured veneer (faux graining on bezels is outstanding); canÕt remember when weÕve seen a nicer case. Height 30 inches
