Russell & Jones Clock Co. “The Belle”, 1889-1893. A 28-inch oak wall clock with carvings and
ornaments. The case has been cleaned, the door glass is correct for this model but may be a replacement. The paper dial
is old with wear, the hands appropriate. The 8-day time-and-strike movement is signed and running, striking on a cathedral gong
on the hours and half-hours; there is an alarm as well that strikes on a cup bell (untested). The pendulum is Russell &
Jones issue; there is a label on the back. This is a nice example. I can’t find any sales records for this model. $150-$250.
