Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. “No. 3 ½ Parlor”, ca. 1880. A second example; this is also the ‘later’ model, made sometime after 1883 or so. Note the silver-trimmed side ornaments, the
walnut frame around the calendar glass, the smaller crest (which may be a modern replacement, and has been broken and repaired), and
the later version of the glass pendulum. The clock stands 20.5 inches tall with a clean old finish. The dial glass is
old in a nickel bezel, with an old black paper dial and proper nickel hands. The outer calendar glass may be a replacement and
the inner calendar dial glass appears to be modern as well; note that the logo is in gold lettering (early style). The movement
is signed by Welch and made for the ICCC; it is an 8-day time-and-strike and is running and striking on a nickel bell, and the calendar
is advancing. The backboard is one piece and may be a replacement, along with the instruction label. But no way around
it, this is a nice example. An ICCC key is included. $1500–$2000.
