Geo. B. Owen “Fortuna”, 1875-1879.  Owen, the general manager at the Gilbert Clock Co., ran his own clockmaking business for a short while and produced high quality clocks, often with novel designs and innovations.  This model was listed in his 1878 catalog.  The walnut case is 24 inches tall with a cut-glass door decoration, a feature of Owen clocks.  The finial on top is a substitution, not quite to specs; the paper dial is very dark and yellowed but may be original. The 8-day time-and-strike movement is signed, running, and striking on the hours with a typical single barrel pendulum.  No label. $100-$150.
