New Haven Clock Co. “No. 26”, ca. 1886.  This model can be found on page 280 of Ly’s book on New Haven clocks.  It is an impressive enameled cast-iron case, 13.5 inches tall, with brass trim (it also came with nickel trim); it has been repainted and looks great.  Note the panels portraying birds, dogs, and a stag deer; you could also buy it with a figure on top.  The flat dial glass is beveled, the two-part dial is porcelain with chips at the winding arbors, a visible escapement, and proper hands.  The 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement is running and striking on a cathedral gong.  An impressive piece.  Fontaine’s sold one in 2021 for $225.  $175–$250.
