there is also a dealer sticker inside providing the same name and date, along with several repair dates from the early 1900's. The ornate case retains its original finish, the hands and numbers are old but some numbers are damaged. The movement has cast brass plates; the bellows need renewal, the pendulum is turned wood. Carved trim for roof is missing. Ht of case 16" James Buchanan Colby, born Oct. 15, 1856 at Grantham, New Hampshire. He was a resident of Barre, Mass. by 1885 and carried on a jewelry business until his death Apr. 30, 1917 at Barre.
