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.
