Description
with strap brass, roller pinion movement. This movement is pictured in Roberts' book on Ives, page 110, having plates tapered at top and with large embossed gear wheels with round cut outs. This case has 3 sets of polished mahogany columns where one would expect gilt/grained columns; these have been there a good hundred years, but we are unable to assert they are original to the case. In any case they are well proportioned and look fine. Label with some holes, is fully legible; dial good with some flakes. Lower tablet is new. Weights are iron replacements, proper for narrow weight channel. Generally very good restored condition. Height 36 inches
