Description
E.N. Welch Mfg. Co. “Trotters 2”, ca. 1893. A 22-inch walnut or oak case with a dark finish and plenty of patina. Small finials on the ends of the crest are missing – see the illustration in Ly, Welch Clocks, on page 477. The door glass is original with a horse-theme decoration, including two riders in a buggy; this is one of six clocks that were part of the “Trotters Series”. The painted dial is probably original with proper hands. The 8-day, time and half-hour strike movement will only run briefly and will need service; it strikes on a wire gong and there is an alarm as well. The Welch pendulum is tarnished. Labels once on the back are now lost. $25–$50.
