New Haven Clock Co. “Austrian” 30-day, ca. 1900. An uncommon model,
47 inches long in cherry with an old and dark finish. There is a small half-round trim piece missing from the bottom skirt. The door glass is old and wavy, the dial holds the original paint with light flaking and wear, the hands, including a seconds hand,
are likely original. The movement is New Haven’s 30-day, double-spring movement, signed, and is running nicely. The pendulum
stick and bob are likely original, the bob is slightly banged up. There is a beat scale inside and a replacement beat scale
if you want to change it out. There is a good label on the back. One recent sale that I can find, a refinished oak example
at Fontaine’s in 2021 for $450. $350–$500.
