Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. “Chronometer”, 1890-1906.  An elegant Ithaca, 33 inches tall in walnut with a pendulum that hangs in front of the calendar dial.  This case has been cleaned and parts of the crest replaced, including the small square ornaments on the front of the crest, the finials, and the right return.  There is nice gold incising on the dial masks and old glass in the door with proper gold lettering; a bit of loss to the ‘C’ in Chronometer.  The old paper dials are in good shape with the proper labeling, and the hands, pendulum bob and stick are correct.  The 8-day time-and-strike movement is unsigned and new.  It is running strongly and striking on a cathedral gong; the calendars are advancing.  There is a label on the backboard.  It is difficult to find these where the crest has not been repaired.  $1000-$1500.
