Wm. Gilbert Clock Co. “Benworth”, ca.1895.  The 27-inch oak case is as clean as a whistle; all the carvings and parts are present and look original.  The door glass is old with a proper, well-preserved gold stencil at the bottom.  The dial is glossy paper, the hands are correct but modern.  The 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement is signed, running, and striking on the wire gong.  The interior has been painted black, the pendulum bob is commonly used on this model.  AAC sold one last summer for $250.  $175–$275.
