Catalog Description:

Late 19th Century, American, 8-day, Pivoted Pendulum cast spelter novelty, the replacement plastic dial now signed "Adams'. Neither Chris nor I can find an example of this clock, a likely war commemorative. A lad of maybe 12, wearing plaid pants, is standing holding an American Flag; the large flag draped around the clock (the stripes cast into the metal). Below the clock rests a spread eagle and the motto: E PLURIBUS UNUM. The rectangular base with 30 stars; the whole refinished with rub"n buff(. The unusual round movement is original to the case and has count wheel striking, on a bell. The dial appears to have been milled out recently on a digital control machine. Clean and running; height 15'
