Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. “No. 5 ½ Hanging Belgrade”, ca. 1980.  This is a recent reproduction of the Hanging Belgrade calendar clock.  The 37-inch case looks great; I cannot distinguish it from the original except by the modern wood used.  I believe the wood is either oak or ash and has been lightly stained and antiqued to give it some age; the originals came in walnut or ash.  The dials are black paper on old brass dial pans and bezels, with proper old brass hands.  The pendulum bob might be the weakest point, as it appears to have been painted or stained to match.  It contains a 30-day double-wind, time-only movement signed by E.N. Welch and made for the Ithaca Calendar Clock Co.  It has been cleaned and shined and looks like new. The calendar movement would appear to be a modern edition.  Of course there is no label and I do not see a woodworker’s signature anywhere.  It is running strongly and the calendar is advancing.  Horton’s sold this clock in 2018 for $1000.  $800-$1200.
