New Haven “Drop Octagon”, ca 1930.  This version of the Drop Octagon is not shown in Ly’s book on New Haven clocks.  The 21-inch case is probably walnut, but could be oak with a dark stain.  The finish is shot and peeling off in many pieces.  The 12-inch paper dial is also peeling, signed New Haven, with proper hands.  The 8-day time-only movement bears the New Haven logo and is running, with a New Haven pendulum.  I think the glasses have been replaced.  There is a good label on the back.  NH Drop Octagons sell for $50-$75 on eBay.  $25-$75.
