194.            $75

E N Welch Mfg. Co. “Sharp Gothic”, ca. 1860.  A 19.5-inch steeple with clean walnut veneer and two original glasses, the patriotic tablet well-preserved.  The metal dial holds the original paint and is badly soiled, and chipping.  The hands are appropriate.  The 30-hour time-and-strike, spring-driven movement is unsigned; it is running and striking without stopping on a wire gong – the strike chain will need attention if you want it to strike. There is an alarm hooked up but untested and a good green label on the backwall.  A nice example for the excellent tablet and good veneer.  $75–$150.
