62.              $100

Unknown maker unknown model iron-front, ca. 1870.  This is a wonderful-looking 23-inch iron-front; I think the base coat is red, with black overcoat, but in some places it seems reversed, or perhaps retouched.  Both glasses are old.  The center image of a rocky inlet is very well preserved; the original dial has some chipping, with replacement hands.  The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is unsigned, and is running and striking on a wire gong.  There is no label, inside or out.  I cannot find a name for this model or a foundry stamp. $100–$200.
