Antique American Clocks July 2021
185. $200
Wm. Gilbert Clock Co. “Thespian”, ca. 1910. This is a nice example of this model from Gilbert,
with an original decorated glass in a 37-inch oak case with a dark stain and an old finish. A trim return on the right side
of the base is missing, unfortunately. The dial is replaced paper in a nickel bezel, the hands are correct. The 8-day
time-only movement is unsigned; it only runs for a minute or two and stops suddenly. The pendulum stick and bob are inexpensive
replacements. No label inside or out. Recent sales at auction for $250 and $275. $225-275.
