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.
