Catalog Description:

Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. "No. 4 Hanging Office", ca 1880. This 30 day model is pretty rare, generally seen only with 8 day movements. It has double springs and is running. Upper dial is 12 inches, lower calendar dial is 9 inches. They look like they have fought many wars. New dials would make the clock look awfully nice, but then they wouldn't be original. If you want new dials I will give you the Ithaca Clock Co. phone number. Hands look to be original and are like other Ithaca hands shown in the catalogs.The walnut cased clock is 28 inches high and has about 75% of a label on the inside of the door. Something caused a split in the wood around the lower door hinge, hardly a big problem to repair. Guess what our Harvard MBA graduate did? He reversed the door hinges to the left side rather than repair the small wood split. Someone please put it back right again. These 30 day models are bringing upwards of $1800 if in good condition. Fix the door and put on new dials and it could be worth $1800. Ly-Calendars, page 136.
