C.1889, E. N. Welch, Forestville, Conn, Walnut Cased GOUNOD, gingerbread clock with top from another piece of walnut furniture.

22 October 2024
Condition: the case has been attractively refinished and the top, perhaps trim from an organ, really looks fine on the clock, just not what came from the Forestville factory. Time and strike 8-day movement is original to the case, and with proper sandwich glass pendulum. Tablet and dial also original. The model label around 40%, showing "ounod", General instruction label is about 80% there, worn but legible. Perfect restaurant clock. For reference see Tran Ly's Welch Book [1992], page 186, fig 431. And with a New London, Conn, repair label. Ht 23.2" [59cm]
