E.N. Welch Mfg. Co. “Franklin-Morse”, ca. 1889.  A 22.5-inch walnut case with an old finish.  The door glass is original with good retention of the stencil.  The painted dial is worn and likely original; the hands are as shown in the catalog illustration (page 396, Ly, Welch Clocks, Second Edition).  The 8-day, time and half-hour strike signed movement is running and striking on a cathedral gong.   There is an alarm hooked up but not tested.  The pendulum is from the Eclipse model (it says ‘Eclipse’ at the top).  There are two dark labels on the back that are not legible.  This model usually came with a calendar and that is the only version I can find on LiveAuctioneers (two sales); Ly shows it without a calendar.  $100–$200.
