Antique American Clocks
E.N. Welch "Sinico", ca. 1885.
A beautiful 45-inch black walnut case, clean as a whistle,
with the typical Welch ornate carvings and full-length door glass.
It matches the catalog illustration on page 278 of Ly's 2
Welch Clocks
The dial is a matte finish replacement that I like, better than paper and unlikely to yellow; it is signed.
The hands are replacements, as is the door glass.
The 8-day spring-driven "Verdi" movement counts the hours on a gong and the
half-hours on a nickel bell behind the movement.
It is running, not exactly robustly, but steady; I replaced the suspension
spring and had the movement cleaned.
Nice labels on the back.
