Description

I can find no information indicating they made clocks. This case is 13" high, has been repainted brown, it has two good sashes, flat glass in both. New paper dial, correct hands, and pendulum bob. Complete paper label inside. Note the bust of "Zephyr" between the two glasses. Wasn't that old boy the God of "the soft gentle breeze"? I am not sure if the movement is one day or eight day. To be safe, I will say one day.
