E.N. Welch “Round head”, ca. 1868-1884.  A 26-inch case with good rosewood veneer all around, the bezel grain-painted.  Both glasses are old but may be replacements, the tablet likely repainted.  The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is signed E.N. Welch Mfg. Co., the label inside is unreadable, but this is likely a Welch, Spring & Co. clock.  The signed, painted dial is old with some scrapes and may be original, the hands are old and proper.  See page 274, Ly’s Welch Clocks.  It is running and striking on a wire gong.  $100-$200.
