Gilbert Clocks Supplement
It has a dark mahogany finish, a beveled lower glass, and a
silvered dial with "ornamental hands".
There are small carved ornaments on the top and bottom, not very noticeable.
signed silvered dial is a bit yellowed here.
The 8-day time-and-strike signed movement is running and striking the hours and
half-hours in a ding-dong pattern on two chime rods.
The nickeled pendulum rod and bob are correct.
Typically sells for
from $100 to $200 on eBay; often missing the beveled lower glass.
