Description

except for a single horizontal crack across the dial (now glued and stable). The case is of stamped sheet brass, decorated with assorted sizes of colored glass that glow brightly when there is a candle inside; case is signed with BandH trademark. This style clock was carried in torch light parades and hung outside for evening parties. This links of chain at top have been added, and the hands, though old are not original. For more details, see Horology Americana (1972), where this model appears on the cover, the title page and on page 205. The best part of this clock is that the original movement is intact and running, as they were so often left in the elements and have rusted to a stop. Height 13"
