E. N. Welch “Meyerbeer”, ca. 1892.  The Meyerbeer came in black walnut and antique oak, as found here.  It’s a 40-inch clock with an old crusty finish.  The door glass and lettering is original.  The 8-inch dial is paper over metal in good condition, with appropriate hands.  The 8-day, time and half-hour strike is running without issue, striking on a cathedral gong.  Good labels on the back, signed Welch key included.  Only two examples in the Antique Clocks Price Guide, with the most recent sale at Schmitt’s in 2015 for $600.  A nice example of an uncommon clock.  $300-$600.
