Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. “No. 16 Hanging Index”, 1890-1916. One of the first oak clocks made
by ICCC, made of solid oak, 30 inches long. The Hanging Index is not at all common. This one has advertising for the Simons
Brothers in Mt. Gilead, OH on the lower dial. Early models of this clock had a black painted dial board, as found here, but
this dial board did not start out with this clock; there are screw holes across the middle that have nothing to screw into. The board is also badly warped and separated at the bottom; there is incising, as commonly found with Ithaca dial boards, that probably
should have gold highlighting. The paper-covered metal dials are also replacements, as the proper calendar dial should a round
opening to view the pendulum bob. The movement here is a time-only double-wind, unsigned, and looks like it was made by Pomeroy. It is running without problem but the connection to the calendar movement has been replaced with a homemade version that needs adjustment
to get the calendars working. A nice label on the back. $350-$600.
