Condition: Case in very nice condition with original finish, rubbed down. Old dial pan may be a replacement, as there are several extra holes in the case itself. Hands are period and probably original. Nice indicator pendulum. Case originally had an alarm that is now missing, and the gong and gong standard are new (orig alarm disc is in place). Tablet is original. This was an expensive clock in 1890, selling for $8.00. An alarm and original gong could be found at a Nawcc Mart. For reference, see Tran Ly's book on New Haven clocks (1997), page 321, fig 1289. 1997 price guide = $275. Ht 22" [56.5 cm]
