Description
Wm. Gilbert Clock Co. “Benworth” calendar, ca. 1895. A 27.5-inch walnut case with a clean finish and a new but proper glass in the door. The dial is paper with some discoloration, the hands are acceptable; the 8-day, time, half-hour strike, and calendar movement is running without problem and the simple calendar is advancing. The upgraded Gilbert pendulum and gong base are correct to this model. There is a bit of a label on the back. Tom Harris sold one in 2019 for $175; AAC sold one without a calendar last summer for $250. $200-$300.
