22 October 2024
Condition: Refinished rosewood and rosewood veneered case in very nice condition, some spindles on top appear to be restored. Current black dial with gold numerals seems a proper Welch dial, however, the center has been glued over with a piece of black paper. Hands are replacements, but of the proper type. Patti movement is original to the case. Door glass is original. Pendulum is new, from China, proper copy of Welch sandwich glass pend.. Remains of a label on the back of the case (no longer legible). In original condition, this would have been worth $2000. Height 16.5 inches
