Antique American Clocks January 2021
60. $300
Welch, Spring & Co. “B. W. Wagner Mantel”, 1877-1884. A 26-inch walnut case in
clean condition, original finials, both glasses old, replaced paper dials. The time dial is in rough condition and the
numbering and lettering has been strengthened, not quite professionally. The time hands are correct, the weekday hand is
a poor replacement; the lower calendar hands are correct. The 8-day time-and-strike movement is signed E.N. Welch, Forestville
USA and is running and striking as expected. The lower calendar is advancing. There is old black flocking on
the backboard and a worn label on the bottom inside; the B.B. Lewis calendar cover label is missing. Horton’s sold one
in 2017 for $600.
