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

High bid $30.00

Status: Sold

E.N. Welch Manufacturing Company of Forestville, Connecticut produced this model, identified by the original paper label on the case back reading "The Tulip, One Day," housed in a walnut case with an elaborately pierced fretwork crest, and a stepped, molded base. The white dial has black Roman numerals, a brass bezel, and black spade hands, with a glass door decorated with a gilt foliate design and a painted center medallion, with a brass and enamel pendulum bob visible through the glass. The case interior shows the coiled gong and movement mounting, and a matching brass winding key is included with the clock. The label is heavily worn, torn, and partially illegible, and the case shows overall surface wear, scuffing, and some separation at the crest carving consistent with its age, though the dial, movement, glass door, and pendulum all remain present and intact. The key turns appropriately and the movement keeps time with chimes on the hour. Overall very good condition for its age and would make a great addition to any mantel. Dimensions: 12 3/4"W X 20 3/4"H
