High bid $45.00

Status: Sold

Walnut case with an arched pediment top, turned finials, carved crest and base medallions, and a lower glass door decorated with a frosted and etched floral and figural design houses this double-dial calendar clock. The clock has a silvered chapter ring with black Roman numerals for time, an outer ring of numerals for the date, and a set of red steel hands indicating the day of the month alongside the standard black time hands. Inside the case, a mercury-style glass and brass pendulum bob hangs beneath the movement, and a matching winding key is included with the clock. The case back retains a heavily worn, largely illegible paper label referencing "Winsted, Ct.," consistent with clocks produced by the Connecticut clockmaking firms based in that town, though the full maker's name cannot be confirmed from the remaining fragment. The case shows honest wear with some finish crazing and label loss on back, but the carved crest, glass door, dial, and calendar mechanism all remain intact. The movement is in excellent condition, has a high pitched ring on the hour with the additional 31 date marker. The key turns accordingly and the clock keeps time properly. In overall excellent condition. Dimensions: 14 1/2"W X 22 1/4"H
