213.     $50

New Haven “Tagus”, ca. 1880.  An 18.5-inch walnut case with a nice finish.  The door glass is modern, the painted dial old with soiling and chipping.  The hands are old replacements.  The 1-day time-strike-alarm movement is running and striking on the nickel bell; the alarm mechanism is unusual in that it is built into the movement.  The movement is unsigned, the pendulum is as shown in the catalog illustration (page 330 of Ly’s book on New Haven clocks).  $50-$100.
