WILLIAM L. GILBERT CLOCK CO. WINSTEAD CT ORIENTALVICTORIAN CALENDAR CLOCKWATCH THE CLOCK RUN IN THE VIDEOUp for bid is another very seldom seen clock from Gilbert Clock Co. This is a rarely seen Calendar Clock that is very hard to find and hardly ever offered. The clock is called "Oriental", there is a partial label on the back of the clock still intact. These clocks run with a spring driven 8 Day Time and Strike Movement which is signed and original. This clocks front glass tablet is original with some wear and loss. The finish is all original with some wear, and alligatoring to the lacquer. The McCabe Calendar Movement is one used in very few clocks (evidently 6 models made by Gilbert), the instructions for use are printed inside of the clock, we haven't tested or tried to set up the Calendar portion of the clock, but we can confirm that all parts are there. If you aren't familiar with this movement, you may need to seek a clock professionals help, although it seems fairly straightforward The clock is running and striking as it should. This clock is not small, the total height of the clock is over 31 inches! The clock comes with a very rare original pendulum! We will also include a key that will work with the clock. I have always loved these clocks as they are so hard to find and literally very quirky lol. This is an excellent example that hasn't been restored or refinished. We will start the bidding on this clock at just $1.00 like always and see what it goes for! Good luck to the highest bidder!
