Description

Atkins Clock Co. “Extra Octagon Top”, 1859-1879. A second Octagon Top, but this one is 14.5 inches tall - #71’s big brother. The case is veneered in rosewood in fine shape, the glasses are old and have been rebacked; the dial glass was originally made for a square case, as the upper spandrels have been cut off; This may have occurred at the factory. The lower glass has a excellent gilt eagle on American shield image. The dial was repainted, the hands are correct but modern. The small 30-hour, time, strike and alarm movement is unsigned (typical) and is running and striking excitedly. There is a good label inside. A nice example. You probably need both this one and its little brother (#71). $100-$200.
