22 October 2024
Condition: the rosewood veneer has been nicely refinished, and is in good condition. Original dial is worn and has had the center repainted long ago, and is flaking. Movement appears to have been oiled and is running robustly. The pendulum is from another clock; looks good in foto, but should be plain brass over lead. Gold border for tablet is worn away. Overall good+ condition. Rear label is dark and with losses, is legible (now protected under plastic), inside label dark from oil. For reference on this model, see Tran Ly's book on Welch Clocks, [1992], page 120. Ht 24.5" [62cm]
