Wm L Gilbert Clock Co. “Argus”, ca. 1885. A 20.5-inch
walnut case with a dark, patinated finish. The door glass is original and the stenciling is worn. The dial is paper, probably
original, and also worn and yellowed. The hands are probably original as well. The 8-day time-and-strike movement is signed
and running, regulated by a fancy Gilbert pendulum and striking on a nickel bell. The movement is very oily. There is
a dark label on the back. An uncommon model. $50–$100.
