E. N. Welch “Octagon Lever”, 6 inch, ca. 1885.  This model is shown on page 233 of Ly’s Welch Clocks, Second Edition.  It has a 6-inch dial that holds the original paint but has been touched up.  The hands are Welch style; the glass is old but newly puttied in.  The 1-day, time-only movement is not signed but it matches the movement shown in Ly on page 233; it is running effortlessly.  The rosewood veneer on the 9-inch case is in excellent condition, and there is a good label on the back.  A nice example.  $100-$200.
