Catalog Description:

C.1863, L. E. Whiting, Saratoga Springs, NY, Timby Solar Timepiece, number 31, in good original condition. This is a nice clock with original label numbered thirty one. Since production was somewhere around 600 units, this probably was made in the first year of operation. The mahogany case retains original finish with crazing. Someone applied a little gold paint to the acorns which we have not seen before, but it has been there a long time. The globe is copyright 1860 by Gilman Joslin, Boston. The glass which protects the hour dial above the globe has gotten chipped on the left side, and the minute dial and pan have been replaced; otherwise we see no signs of restoration. Retains original Hubbel balance lever movement, wound from the rear. Recently these have been bringing over 20,000 at auction. Height 27 inches
