Part of Clocks, Instruments and Antiques Auction (timed auction by Linkous Auction Group)

High bid $22.00

Status: Sold

The New Haven Clock Co. manufactured this "Napoleon hat" style mantel clock, as marked on the dial face, featuring a wood case with the distinctive humped-back silhouette and turned bracket feet characteristic of the style. The round dial has black mission style numerals on a cream ground, paired with black spade hands and has a hinged glass cover. The rear panel is fitted with a back plate through which the movement is accessed, secured by the original mounting screws. The case shows wear consistent with age, and general wear to the base and feet, while the overall form and glass remain intact. The movement is not in working condition and needs attention. The attached back key does turn but does not trigger movement. Dimensions: 9.25in W x 4in H x 2.5in D
