Antique American Clocks
New Haven "Drop Octagon", ca 1930.
This version of the Drop Octagon is not shown in Ly's book on New
Haven clocks.
The 21-inch case is probably walnut, but could be oak with a dark stain.
The finish is shot and peeling
off in many pieces.
The 12-inch paper dial is also peeling, signed New Haven, with proper hands.
The 8-day time-only movement
bears the New Haven logo and is running, with a New Haven pendulum.
I think the glasses have been replaced.
good label on the back.
NH Drop Octagons sell for $50-$75 on eBay.
