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.
