306.    $100

Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. “No. 8 Shelf Library”, 1868-1883.  This example is for parts.  Here are the problems:  No back.  Wrong top finial.  Time dial needs to be replaced.  Hands are old but not correct. Middle door to allow access to the pendulum is an improper replacement.  Calendar glass is modern.  The strike chain of the movement is not working properly.  The alarm is missing.  The link connection to the month calendar roller is missing the pin to connect to the calendar mechanism and will likely need professional repair.  There is no pendulum bob.  Here, on the other hand, are the positives:  Decent walnut case.  Nice signed old paper calendar dial (with some losses at the pendulum window).  Correct calendar hand.  Old time-dial glass.  Signed Welch 8-day time-and-strike movement is running (strike side needs work).  Repairable original calendar movement.  $100-$200.
