E.N. Welch “Gounod”, ca. 1889.  A 24.5-inch walnut case with an old and slightly crusty finish and full carved columns on each side.  The door glass is original and puttied in, a rare polychrome door stencil.  The dial is paint, again likely original and clean, with correct hands (see page 399 of Ly,Welch Clocks, Second Edition).  The 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement is signed and running, striking on the cathedral gong, and regulated by a sandwich glass Welch pendulum.  This is a high-end parlor clock.  There is a faded label on the back and a Welch winding key inside.  The alarm is hooked up but untested.  $150-$200.
