although there is no label, the clock is otherwise in excellent original condition, with good dial [some flaking around outer reflector], good hands, sound rosewood case and movement intact. Bone or ivory knobs intact on bezel latch and lower door. This is an uncommon clock; see "The Clocks of Irenus Atkins" by Phil Gregory, page 66. Also see Brooks Palmer "The Book of American Clocks", fig 239 for slightly earlier clock. Height 25 inches
