Atkins Clock Co. “Octagon Drop XX”, 1859-1879. Gregory & King (The Clocks of Irenus Atkins) describe this as a rare model with an unusual 8-day spring-driven movement, but there
are several examples on LiveAuctioneers, selling for around $100. The 24.5-inch case is veneered in flame mahogany with an old
and slightly crusty finish. Both glasses are old and the pendulum door tablet has been rebacked. The dial is repainted
with the proper period hands. The 8-day, time-only movement is unsigned and a bit unusual, as it looks like it has been turned
sideways; it is running without problem. There is a good label inside. $75–$150.
