Catalog Description:

C.1874, Welch, Spring and Co., "D.J. Gale, 12" Rosewood" gallery timepiece with astronomical calendar, restored. The case has been professionally refinished (the veneer is great), and the dial re-papered. The time, date and equation hands are original; the two small hands for day of the week and lunar phase are replacements. The 8-day lever movement uses double springs in order to provide enough energy to trip the calendar reliably. For details on this model and fotos of the movements, see Tran Duy Ly's 1997 book titled Calendar Clocks, pages 59-60. With key lock door and original door key. The dial is 12 inches; diameter of clock, 18 inches. If it had original dial, this would bring 7,500 dollars.
