Hamilton octagon drop chime clock, ca. 1986.  Who knew Hamilton made clocks that wouldn’t fit in your pocket or on your wrist?  This well-made solid walnut case is 23.5 inches long with a convex glass over the painted dial. It uses a Hermle 8-day, time-and-strike movement that plays Westminster chimes on four chime rods and counts the hours on all four. The movement was replaced in 2002; there is a dedication plaque on the front from GM for 25 years of service by Paul Schwan. I guess his family didn’t want to keep the clock.  You could remove the small glued-on plaque and no one would know.  The clock is running and chiming nicely.  $25-$100.
