Catalog Description:

C.1885, Welch, Spring and Co., "Patti V.P.", 8-day time and strike mantel clock, in generally good condition, with some restoration. The rosewood case is in very nice with original finish. There is some minor veneer damage on the back edge of the top and where the right finial is located. The rest of case looks fine. The original dial pan now has a paper dial. The pan also has extra mounting holes from the screws being moved to fasten it to case, and the mask has losses which will need to be attended before the dial will stay put properly. The hands, although of the proper style have been adapted from a French set, the minute hand spliced with solder. The original movement has been mounted with machine screws and nuts and would benefit from a proper repair. The 3 finials are replacements, but are nicely made. Rear label is dark, w/some loss, but legible. The tablet and pendulum are original. Still a decent Welch clock than can be improved by a careful restorer. Height 18.5 inches
