Condition: Cast metal front on a wooden case is in nice condition with a pewter-like finish. Original dial is worn and age darkened. We could not find this model in the Welch catalog, however it has a very dark rear label (unreadable) that looks like American Clock Co, NY, and it is known that this firm offered these metal castings to all of the Connecticut firms. Original pendulum is very unusual with an adjusting knob mounted in the upper center of the rod. Ht 22.5" [55.1 cm]
