Antique American Clocks January 2021
236. $50
Gilbert Clock Co. "Turret", ca. 1881. This 19.5-inch walnut case lacks some of the details shown on page 301 of Ly’s book on Gilbert clocks; specifically, it has an incomplete crest and is missing the proper finials. There is no label on the case but the 8-day time-and-strike movement is signed Gilbert and is running and striking on a wire gong. The door glass is old but not original and the glossy paper dial is worn with the numbering touched up. $50-$100.
Thanks to Dale Beske for identifying this clock.
