Original Listing Description

Scarce Welch Spring 8-Day Time and Strike Calendar Clock Italian No. 3 Working Up for sale is this scarce Welch Spring 8-day time and strike calendar clock Italian no.3, Circa 1870. Mr. Welch was a world traveler and named many of his clocks with foreign names hence "Italian". It features the B.B. Lewis Perpetual Calendar mechanism with the last patent date Dec. 20, 1868. B.B. Lewis Clock Co. was the original maker of this clock. He later went to work for Welch Spring and this clock went with him and was added to the Welch line. It strikes a gong with the number of hours and also shows the month, date and day. This clock measures 18" tall x 11" wide x 5 1/4" deep and is in overall very good condition. It has the original dials, pendulum, glass and door latches. The hands are also original except the small hand for the day on the top dial. The rosewood veneered case is nice, but the base has some repairs, refinishing in a darker color and some veneer loss which seems to be very common on these clocks. It still looks quite good in my opinion. The key is included which also turns the top door latch. The label on the inside back has a lot of wear. The B.B. Lewis label on the inside of the bottom door is quite good except for a small 1" x 1/2" place where it is worn off. You will not be disappointed in this rare clock. It is running very well at the time of this listing but may need slight adjustment after shipping.
