Description
Wilcock patent chime clock, 1900-1915. Steven Wilcock worked out of Toronto Canada making a chiming clock under his own patent; the clocks were manufactured by the New Haven Clock Co. The mahogany case is 17 inches tall with an old, polished finish. The two-tone celluloid dial sits behind a flat beveled glass in a rococo bezel, with ornate hands. You access the pendulum from the front of the case through a pull-off panel at the bottom. The 8-day, time, strike, and chime (Westminster) is running but the chime activation is not reliable, and the chime seems out of sync – I think it’s going to need some attention. It chimes on four cathedral gongs, with the hours counted on a larger gong. The chime is marked “Wilcock Patent Canada 1896”. AAC sold this clock 2024 for $250. $150–$350.
