Description
Condition: this clock stood in a wet basement, and the bottom board is a bit warped, the bottom side returns are missing and the board with the bell buttons is loose, and now inside the clock. Otherwise, the finish on the case is original, plus pendulum, movement dial and all hardware are original. We find a cousin model, with the same case, pictured in the 1992 book 150 Years of Electric Horology, page 88, also see page 29 for a picture of the movement, designed by Fred Frick (of Fred Frick Clock Co). Case bears plaque stating "Presented by the New England Alumni Chapter, 1945". The actual college is unknown. Note this movement is wound periodically and uses a modest weight (just showing under the 6) for power. We did not verify operation. Program tape mechanism has been removed. Height 60 inches [153cm]
