Wm L Gilbert Clock Co. “Regulator No. 11”, ca. 1891.  A second example of this model, this one in oak with a very old and neglected finish.  The 50-inch case has a slightly different top piece, but I can’t imagine that it isn’t original.  The door glass is original, as are the two side glasses.  The paper dial appears to have been professionally repainted, with some crinkling and touch-up to the numbering.  The hands are proper. The 8-day, double-weight movement winds from a single arbor and is unsigned; it runs briefly and will need service.  It is driven by two brass weights on each side that I don’t believe are original.  The pendulum stick and bob are likely original; there is no label.  A very original example in need of rejuvenation.  $500–$700.
