Gilbert “Hanover”, ca. 1891.  A nice walnut case, 20 inches tall, with carved ornamentation and incisings all around.  Unfortunately, the centerpiece in the crest has been replaced with an inferior replica (see page 329 of Ly’s Gilbert Clocks).  The stenciled door glass is old and appropriate; the old paper dial sits in a brass bezel.  It has an Ingraham movement that is running without enthusiasm, striking on a wire gong on the hours and half-hours, but the strike is delayed by about 10 min, so if you go by this you will always be late.  There is an alarm ring but no alarm mechanism; the pendulum bob is severely corroded.  The label on the back tells us this is the Hanover model.   $25-$75.
