Geo. B. Owen & Co. “Excelsior”, ca. 1878.  A 19-inch black walnut case with an old finish.  The clock is missing a decorative element at the top center; the door glass old with an applied decal, but originally may have had a cut-glass pattern.  The very old paper dial is heavily toned, the hands are correct. The 8-day time-and-strike movement is signed and running, striking the hours on a nickel bell.  There is a single barrel pendulum, as shown in the catalog illustration.  No label.  $15–$25.
