Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. “No. 7 Shelf Cottage”, 1869-1878.  A second example of this popular 22-inch shelf calendar clock in walnut with an old oil finish.  The dials are paper over zinc with brass sashes, the time dial a recent replacement.  The glasses are old and chipped at the bezels.  The movement is an 8-day time-and-strike from Welch; it is running and the calendar date is advancing.  The calendar rollers are very dark, and the calendar hand has been poorly repaired.  A bit of the instruction label remains on the back.  $350-$450.
