Wm. Gilbert Clock Co. “No. 427”, ca. 1900.  A 10.5-inch porcelain clock in white with cobalt blue highlights and pink flowers on the front and sides.  No chips or cracks, moderate crazing, but little loss to the gold highlighting. A convex glass in a French sash and a paper dial surrounding a gilt center.  The unsigned 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement will run with coaxing, striking a nickel bell on the half-hour and a cathedral gong on the hour.    $100-$200.
