New Haven marbloid mantel clock, ca. 1895. The label
on the back of the door indicates this is a New Haven clock, but I believe the original movement and dial have been replaced with
a French movement and dial, as the instructions for removing the movement do not match this movement. In addition, I cannot
find this model in Ly’s book on New Haven clocks, but it appears to be a Marbloid clock, with a cast iron case painted in five colors. There are only a limited number of those clocks shown in Ly’s book, on pages 264-265. The case is 13 inches tall with four marbleized
columns and brass ornamentation on the front. The 8-day, time-and-strike movement will run for a while and will strike, but
it is out of plumb and will need adjustment. The movement is unsigned but appears to be French. $25–$100.
