Catalog Description:

C.1865, L F and WW Carter, Bristol, Conn, Round Drop Wall Calendar, double dial. This clock uses the Welch upside down 8-day, seconds pendulum, 2-weight movement, as pictured in Miller's Survey of American Calendar Clocks, figure 177. This clock has some nicks and scrapes, but is overall in good original condition. Noteworthy is the day of week indication on the top dial; Miller writes: "..was not made with day of week gear or indicator in top dial". Here is the evidence that it was made that way. Stick retains original gilding, bob with small dent on one side (not bad at all); rear of case with 140 year old (original?) wall paper in rear of case; looks like it has always been there; old brass sheathed weights are adequate for the clock but are not a matched pair. The Lewis patent calendar mechanism is in good working order and with excellent calendar label; time mov't needs cleaning. Height 57"
