Description
8-day wagon spring movement. This particular clock, is pictured in Dworetsky and Dickstein's Horology Americana, page 162. Details on the movement may be found in Robert's book on Ives, page 227 (different case in illustration). Typical of the 8-day label, Ives patent is touted as "Accelerating, equalizing lever spring" Although there are minor nicks and scrapes and some flakes on the tablets, this is just about as good as it gets for a 150 year old clock. Height 27 inches
