Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. “Granger”, 1885-1902.  A 25-inch walnut case with a clean finish; the glass is modern, the one-piece paper-over-metal dial board is original and in good shape.  The hands are correct.  The base and crown of this clock are not correct – there should be a 2-inch base with canted corners, and the top should also have canted (angled) corners.  I can’t find any other example with these changes; although the “National” (#58) has square corners, the base is different from this one.  The 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement was made by Welch for ICCC and is so stamped; it is running and striking on the hours and half-hours as expected, and the calendar is advancing.  The original nickel pendulum bob and hanger is missing and the replacement is quite wrong, and I don’t believe the clock will keep time correctly; a simple bob on a short hanger would place the bob in the window in the calendar dial.  There is no label.  $350-$500.
