516.     $50

New Haven gilded wall clock, ca. 1920?  Couldn’t find this one in Ly’s book on New Haven clocks, but it is clearly a New Haven Clock Co. movement, as indicated on the bottom of the dial.  The dial also states that it is a 12-day clock.  The porcelain dial is sealed behind a beveled glass with an unfortunate inside chip at the 9.  The 21-inch case is carved wood, painted or gilded, or both.  There are spots on the neck where the gilding has chipped off.  The lever movement is unsigned and running, with a backwind and knob to set the time.  $50-$150.
