Description

Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. “No. 8 Carved Top Shelf Library”, 1878-1902. Another early ICCC model, 26.5 inches tall in walnut with burled panels on the front and an elaborately carved crest. The finish is very clean throughout. The bezels are nickel, the glasses old, and the dials paper on zinc pans; the time dial bezel has been remounted to the hinge. The hands are correct including the Welch calendar hand. The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is signed Welch and made for the ICCC. It is running and striking on a standard wire gong; the pendulum bob and hanger are correct, the bob nickel. The weekday roller is advancing but the date hand is sticking. This model sells on eBay for from $450-$600.
