Antique American Clocks
E.N. Welch & Co. "Star Pointer", ca. 1900.
The interior label says "Welch, Spring &
Co." which merged with E.N. Welch in 1884.
The movement is signed "E.N. Welch Mfg. Co." and the paper dial is also labeled E.N.
The label may be a left-over.
The oak case is 32 inches long with a pressed wood pattern around the bezel and lower
The 13-inch brass bezel has been repaired at the latch so it will stay closed; the dial glass is a replacement, the lower
glass is not.
The gilt lettering is not as shown in the catalog illustration and may be a replacement.
The paper dial
is very yellowed and would seem to be original.
The hands are improper but acceptable replacements.
The signed, 8-day,
time-only movement is running.
Shreds of a model label on the back behind plastic.
