Antique American Clocks July 2021
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.
