Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. “No. 7 Shelf Cottage”, 1869-1878.  An early and popular model, 22 inches tall in walnut with an oil finish.  The finish here is good but it could stand a bit of clean-up.  There is a small piece of the lower right corner trim missing.  As always, the dials are paper over zinc with brass sashes; the hands are correct.  The dials are in nice shape, with some discoloration and wear; both glasses are new.  The movement is the typical LaPort Hubble 15-day time-only, unsigned.  It is running and the calendar date is advancing but the link to the weekday roller is broken and will need professional repair.  A few shreds of the instruction label remain on the back.  Prices for this model on eBay range from $280 to $450.
