Description
Southern Calendar Clock Co. “Fashion No. 4”, ca. 1885. A 32-inch solid walnut case with an old finish and plenty of patina. I believe all three finials are original; the center finial has lost its tip. The door glass is original with the original lettering; the dials are original with considerable flaking and soiling to both. The hands are correct. The 8-day time-and-strike movement is signed and running, striking the hours on the large brass bell; it is marked “Made for the Southern Calendar Clock Co., St Louis MO”. The pendulum bob is damascened with a blotchy finish, the RT Andrews calendar mechanism is advancing properly. Good labels inside. AAC has sold several similar examples with flaking dials over the past year for around $400. $300–$400.
