Atkins Clock Company. / Bristol, Conn., rare octagon drop, XX Model, wall clock, ca 1864.

The fine rosewood veneered case is 34" tall, has ripple molding and metal knobs. The glasses are original, so are the hands, pendulum bob, and the movement. Inside is a very nice paper label. The painted design on the metal dial is very unusual. No where can I find another Atkins clock with that design on the dial. The movement is 8 day, time only, winding at 7 o'clock. It is his production movement with a 4 spoke escape wheel. It is clean, unsigned and running. Reference: "The Clocks Of Irenus Atkins", by Gregory and King. This clock, movement, and label, are pictured and described on pages 67 thru 71.
