Antique American Clocks
Wm. L Gilbert Clock Co. "Mitra",
One of Gilbert's more popular shelf clocks
with lots of rectilinear lines in an attractive case with a large pendulum bob.
This one is in cherry with the original finish
and some gunk accumulation in the corners and edges, 22 inches tall.
There is a bit of a chip on the top left cornice piece
and a small pediment is missing from the top of the center cornice piece.
Both glasses are likely original.
time-and-strike movement is signed and running, striking on a cathedral gong on the hours and half-hours.
A paper dial on a
nickel dial pan and bezel, a label on the back.
This clock just needs a good case cleaning.
