Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. a top of the line mantle clock, the "Psyche", ca 1885. I have never seen this model. It is superb, a clean 24.5" high walnut case, clean and rubbed, (polished). This one is more than a mantle clock, it is a parlor clock, a cut above most all mantle clocks, one you will be proud to display. It has several carvings, six turned finials, grooved designs, and some very special applied wood ornaments. There is a fine old glass in the door, a George B. Owen style barrel pendulum, and I would suspect that Owen designed the case. It has the original dial, some touchup to a few chipped places. Good nickeled bell, brass dial rings, and an 8 day signed movement that is running and striking the bell. Ly-Gilbert No. 1022.
