Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. “No. 11 Octagon Poni”, 1883-1890.  This model is a 3/4-size (19-inch) version of the very popular and inexpensive “Octagon” and was nearly as popular, but only made for seven years.  The walnut case has an old finish, slightly dull; the door glass is old, possibly original.  The one-piece metal dial is a replacement with a new antiqued paper print that matches the original, including the ICCC name along with H.B. Horton at the bottom.  The hands are appropriate replacements.  The backboard is also a replacement; there is no label.  The 8-day time-and-strike movement is signed by Welch and made for ICCC; it is running and striking on a nickel bell on a new mounting bracket.  The strike sticks every so often.  The pendulum bob is a replacement.  The calendar linkage has been replaced and the calendar does not advance, although it can be advanced by hand, so some adjustment will be needed.  Note the old English lettering on the rollers, as it was originally manufactured.   Poni’s are uncommon and sell for $300-$400.
