148.    $150

E.N. Welch Clock Co. “Octagon Drop Calendar”, ca. 1886.  A 24-inch case veneered in rosewood with a 12-inch dial.  The dial glass is newer, the brass bezel needs polish.  The dial holds the original paint, the original hands have been repainted.  There is age-appropriate soiling to the dial.  The lower door glass is original.  The 8-day, time-and-strike calendar movement is signed under the mainstem; it is running, striking on a wire gong, and the calendar is advancing. There is a good label inside.  $150-$250.
