Description

Welch, Spring & Co. “Round Head No. 4”, ca. 1878. A 32-inch case veneered in rosewood with a beautiful finish. The dial glass is original, the calendar glass old, both dials old paint in good condition. The hands are appropriate. The 8-day, spring-driven, time-and-strike movement is signed EN Welch; it is clean but oily, and not running, indicating that service is going to be needed. The calendar mechanism in the lower door will advance; there is a Welch, Spring & Co. label over the door and a B.B. Lewis label on the back of the mechanism. There is a good label inside on the backwall. Fontaine’s sold a No. 4 this year for $550. $500-$750.
