Antique American Clocks January 2021
30. $700
E.N. Welch “Regulator G”, ca. 1885. This is a rare clock from Welch, described on page
266 of Ly, Welch Clocks, second edition. The oak (walnut?) case is 52 inches long with burled walnut on the front; the door
glass is old, and the dial has been repainted. The hands are Welch hands, the seconds hand a replacement. The unsigned
time-only, brass plate movement is as shown on page 268 of the above reference, it will not run and will need service. There
are two brass weights and a large pendulum bob with a black stick. The brass dial is heavy and machine-turned on the edging.
The thin piece of wood on the back bottom seems to serve no purpose and is not visible except from the back. It may replace
a board that was originally there, but I don't see why. No recent sales records. $700-$1000.
