E.N. Welch round gothic (beehive), ca. 1860.  A 19-inch case in rosewood veneer with a clean finish and a few chips along the edges.  The dial glass is a modern replacement, the lower glass is period/original with an original tablet that has an uneven background and may have been touched up or repainted.  The round flat metal dial holds old paint, the hands are appropriate and period, with  a repair to the minute hand.  The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is signed E.N. Welch, Forestville CT, and is running and striking without problem.  There is a good label inside on the backwall; the alarm is hooked up but untested.  $50–$100.
