Wm. Gilbert “Coupon”, ca. 1891.  A 13.25-inch cottage that should have a decorated glass below the dial.  Both glasses are modern, the rosewood veneer is badly chipped on the right side and a bit rough all over.  The painted and decorated dial is original, the hands correct.  The signed 8-day, time-and-strike movement is running and striking on the wire gong.  Remains of a Gilbert label inside, very dark.  $25-$50.
