Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. “No. 4 Office”, 1869-1918. This was a reliable seller for ICCC, with simple design and good readability.  The walnut case is 28.5-inches long with a 12-inch paper dial.  The finish on this case is clean, almost too clean; both glasses are modern, and there are nickel dial rings holding the glass in place.  The time paper dial is a replacement, the calendar dial lacks the umbrella opening to view the pendulum and may be a replacement.  The hands are also likely replacements.  The 8-day time-and-strike movement was made by Ingraham, who, to my knowledge, did not make movements for the ICCC.  Indeed, the back view of the movement shows that this movement was made to mount on a backboard.  As Ingraham did not make clocks with complex calendars, this movement had to be adapted to drive the calendar mechanism.  It would seem more likely that this is a replacement movement created by a clever clock mechanic; moreover, I believe the entire clock is a modern reproduction.  Nevertheless, the clock will run (although it is out of plumb), and the calendar does advance.  It certainly looks good, but its antique authenticity is questionable.  These clocks do not have labels.  AAC sold an No. 4 Office a year ago for $350, a typical price.  $150-$350.
