Wm. Gilbert Clock Co. “Columbia”, ca. 1901.  A 36-inch walnut case with an older finish, possibly original.  The door glass is proper and likely original as well; the unsigned paper dial shows lots of wear, the hands original with a repair to the minute hand.  The two outside drop finials are improper replacements.  Shreds of a label on the back.  The signed Gilbert 8-day, time-and-strike movement is running and striking on the hour and half-hour on an Owen cathedral gong.  This model is not especially uncommon but has been popular and brings relatively high prices; Schmitt’s sold one in 2018 for $175; Horton’s sold a calendar version in 2019 for $880.  $150-$250.
