E. Howard & Co. “No. 69 Eight Day Marine & Locomotive Clock”,ca. 1889.  This model came in five sizes, from a 4.5-inch dial to a 12-inch dial; this is the second largest, with a 10-inch dial and an overall diameter of 12.5 inches.  The case is nickel-plated, the silvered dial appears to be aluminum; it is not ferric.  The glass is likely original, as are the hands; it is signed “American Steam Gauge & Valve Manufg. Company. Boston, Mass. U.S.A.”  The 8-day, lever-spring movement is signed and running.  AAC sold an 8-inch dial version last summer for $1800.  $1500–$2500.
