eBay 11 30Dimensions: 37 14 7”C 1898 Prentiss Improvement Clock Co., New York, "Empire" model calendar clock with a long-running 90-day double spring driven time movement and "Thrasher" calendar mechanism.The case and dial are older restorations. The components of the clock are original to each other - movements, case, hands, pendulum, glasses and hardware. The metal flat dial plate had an old paper face on it. I refinished it and noticed that it may not be original.Time movement: Long running 90-day time only signed movement. Unrestored. It has been running since I wound it 8 weeks ago. There is no guarantee of running as the movement is not restored Calendar Thrasher: Long running 1 year wind thrasher movement. Unrestored. Untested. The calendar papers are original. Copies are sold on Ebay. I may have access to some reproduction date 'flip' cards for an extra charge. These movements are finicky and difficult to work on. I haven't seen a working one in the past 50 years. The movement was designed to run for a full year on a full wind of the spring Pendulum: The original pendulum has a brass damascened bob and long adjusting nut that extends through the bottom board of the clock for easy adjustment These long running Prentiss models are hard to find.Clocks are only warranted to run if the movement was recently overhauled. This clock movement has not been worked on and is sold 'as is'.See pictures for detail and ask any questions before purchasing. This is a very heavy clock. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
