Antique American Clocks
E. N. Welch "Meyerbeer", ca. 1892.
The Meyerbeer came in black walnut and antique oak, as found
It's a 40-inch clock with an old crusty finish.
The door glass and lettering is original.
The 8-inch dial
is paper over metal in good condition, with appropriate hands.
The 8-day, time and half-hour strike is running without issue,
striking on a cathedral gong.
Good labels on the back, signed Welch key included.
Only two examples in the Antique Clocks
Price Guide, with the most recent sale at Schmitt's in 2015 for $600.
A nice example of an uncommon clock.
