Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. “No. 8 Shelf Library”, 1876-1883.  A 25.5-inch walnut case with a clean finish.  The calendar glass is new, the dial glass old; both are in nickel sashes; the paper time dial is an old replacement, the calendar dial old/original.  Time hands are mismatched, the calendar hand should be a Welch fan hand.  Note the presence of an alarm, winding port at the bottom left.  The movement is a Welch “Made for ICCC” 8-day, time-and-strike and is running; the calendar is advancing.  The backboard is an old replacement, the finial is a new replacement correct to style, but needs a finish applied.  This model typically sells for $400-$600.
