Antique American Clocks
Welch, Spring & Co. "Patti No. 2" ca. 1886.
A highly sought-after model, just 10.5 inches tall
in a rosewood-veneered case with side glasses and numerous turnings, nubbins, and finials.
This one has a patina of age; the
glasses are good, the dial paper in reasonable shape with two proper hands.
It holds an 8-day double-wind Patti movement that
will run but I can't keep it in beat.
It will need some attention if you want it to run steady.
The pendulum is correct
and there is a very good label on the back; a small Patti key is included.
AAC sold one in January for $2005.
$1900-$2100.
