(Please read this note before deciding to buy or make offers. Until recently, I had listed it for pickup only, because of the possibility of the mechanism getting affected during shipping. There is a lot of interest in this item. So, I have decided to list now with shipping option. However, you have to keep in mind that there will definitly be a need to get it tuned up to make it work at your end. Either you should have experience doing that yourself, or have acces to a person/shop experienced in doing so. I will do my best to pack and ship, including double boxing, etc. Even if nothing breaks during shipping there is still a possibility that some work would be needed to make this clock work once you receive it. Feel free to contact me if you have any concerns. If you prefer professional packing and shipping please let me know.)This is a very collectible and hard to find shelf calendar clock. It has an 8 day time and strike spring driven brass movement with perpetual calendar. The clock case is made of walnut with ebonized turned columns, spandrels and carved crests. It has nickel plated dial surrounds, bell, pendulum rod and crescent calendar hand. The black time dial is 4" and the 31 day glass calendar dial is 7" in diameter, respectively. The gridiron pendulum has a weight/bob made of a glass disk and is etched to read "ICCCo". The calendar dial is marked "H. B. HORTON'S patents, April 18, 1865, and August 28, 1866, ITHACA CALENDAR CLOCK CO. Ithaca, NY". When the time dial is removed one can see that the brass movement is signed "E. N. Welch, Forestville, CT, U. S. A." The clock is 20.5" high, 10.25" wide and 5.5" deep and is in working condition. Key is included. It may need some adjustments to work perfectly. I only tried to set the beat of the clock which may again need to be set after moving/shipping of the clock.(YOU CAN MAKE REASONABLE OFFERS). FYI, you can check out my other unique and collectible items by clicking here Grandfather Victorian, mantel, sculpture, statue, American, French, German, brass, bronze, carved, caving, watch, table, desk, marble, wood, wooden, watch (Condition: Pre-Owned)
