Description
Atkins Clock Co. “Round Top Drop”, ca. 1863. A 24-inch rosewood case with an old, slightly dull finish. The dial glass looks original, the pendulum glass is period but may be a replacement. I believe the 12-inch dial has been repainted, with matched period hands. The 8-day, time-only movement is marked “EH” with some numbers, and matches the movement found in another example (here) and differs only in the escape wheel from the image shown in Gregory & King, The Clocks of Irenus Atkins, on page 70. It is running feebly and will likely need service. There is a dark but readable label inside. This model is not common; there is but one example in the Antique Clocks Identification and Price Guide over the last 22 years. AAC sold an example in 2023 for $348. $200-$350.
