Antique American Clocks
Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. "Granger", 1885-1902.
A 25-inch walnut case with a clean finish;
the glass is modern, the one-piece paper-over-metal dial board is original and in good shape.
The hands are correct.
base and crown of this clock are not correct - there should be a 2-inch base with canted corners, and the top should also have canted
(angled) corners.
I can't find any other example with these changes; although the "National" (#58) has square corners, the base
is different from this one.
The 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement was made by Welch for ICCC and is so stamped; it is
running and striking on the hours and half-hours as expected, and the calendar is advancing.
The original nickel pendulum bob
and hanger is missing and the replacement is quite wrong, and I don't believe the clock will keep time correctly; a simple bob on
a short hanger would place the bob in the window in the calendar dial.
There is no label.
