Catalog Description:

C.1888, Sidney Advertising Clock Co. Sidney, New York with restoration. This firm took out a patent in 1886 for the rotating cylinders in the bottom which change the ad every 5 minutes. This particular clock is 95% restored. The movement ticks, and the lower rotating movement is sound, however, the warning piece in the bottom movement, and the linkage to hook it up is loose (wrapped in bubble wrap), and may be incomplete (but not impossible to complete). The walnut case is very attractively refinished and complete with reproduction advertisements. From a cosmetic point of view this is among the best looking we have ever seen. I remember around 1975 these used to bring 5000 dollars in Texas and Oklahoma., so our estimate must be reasonable. Height 67 inches
