we do not find this model in Ly or previous sales but the consignor identifies it as the No. 2. The large ornate case retains an old slightly crazed finish, and there is a substantial chip of wood gone from the top right rear corner. The signed celluloid dial is good, and the beveled glass is intact, but the entire bezel needs to be secured to the case. With its separate chime movement and side switch, and five coil gongs, it appears to have been competing with the Seth Thomas Sonora models. The wood back panel is newer. Ht 17"
