111.           $100

E.N. Welch Mfg. Co. “Colby Wringer”, ca. 1886.  A 22.5-inch walnut case with an old finish and some patina, made for the Colby Wringer Co. of Vermont.  The door glass is original with good retention of the gold stencil.  The painted dial is clean and likely original, as are the hands.  The signed 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement is running and striking on a wire gong, regulated by a Colby Wringer-signed sandwich glass pendulum. The labels on the back have been lost.  The wall version of this model is #216.  I can find no sales records for this shelf model.  $100–$200.
