Description

Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. “No. 8 Shelf Library”, 1878-1902. This is the second, and later version of this model, with a carved top rather than a single finial. The 26.5-inch walnut case has an old finish that is a bit dry and would benefit from renewal. The dial glasses are old, the paper dials old replacements, the hands are correct. The 8-day, time-and-strike movement was made by Welch for the ICCC; it is running and striking, regulated by a proper nickel-plated pendulum bob. The calendar is advancing without problem. No label to be found, not uncommon. Fontaine’s sold a couple in 2021 for $300 each. $275-$400.
