E. Howard & Co. “Marble Dial No. 20”, ca. 1923. The catalog says this marble-front clock came in three sizes (28, 36, and 42 inches square) and this is not one of them; this dial is 26 inches square. Hard to know what to make of that, except that Howard made so many special-order clocks that this shouldn’t be surprising. I believe the numbering has been strengthened, as well as the name; the hands are as shown in the catalog and on other examples. The 8-day, weight-driven, time-only movement is signed and running, driven by a compounded lead weight. There is a pendulum adjustment arbor above the mainstem and a lever at the bottom to restart the pendulum. Several sales on LiveAuctioneers, most recently for $2100. $1000–$1500.
