Catalog Description:

First half, 20th Century, Girandole, after the classic design of Lemuel Curtis, and with his name on the dial. This is a very well made case, and has been around long enough that the tablets have some flaking and touch up (as do many Walthams). The movement is an E. Howard and Co, on which the name has been ground off with a Dremel tool (see image of movement), and attaches to the case with a single tapered head screw from the rear. The Aurora tablets are very nicely painted. The gilding on the case is bright, with some gesso damage and gold paint on the gold balls. If all original, this clock would have been worth 200,000 dollars. Sure to attract those unable to afford an original, or even a Waltham. Height 42 inches
