Original Listing Description

Welch and Spring Co Forestville Conn.PATTI No 2 SHELFMINIATURE PATTI CLOCKSEE CLOCK RUN IN VIDEOUp for bid today is a true rarity! This is a c. 1886 Mini Patti #2 Shelf Clock. How rare are these clocks? The truth is you NEVER see these clocks; these clocks are locked away and are never offered. These do come up time to time in MAJOR clock auctions in the price range of $2000-2500, but I don't think I've ever seen one hit ebay, until now! I picked this clock up a while back and I knew it needed a piece of the right trim, and I was going to get right on it; well life happens and here we are. What I love about this clock is that the finials, the original WS&C pendulum, dial are ALL there. What makes this clock even more special is that 90% of these miniature Pattis were made with a TIME ONLY movement.....this clock features the Time and Strike version of the completely redesigned Welch Movement...just for this little clock! This in my opinion definitely makes it one of the rarest clocks Welch ever made, guaranteed. I am going to let it go like we usually do. No reserve to the highest bidder, starting at just $1.00! It needs a trim repair, and you have up to a $2500 clock, that simple. Good luck to the highest bidder! This will be interesting!This clock is running and striking nicely! The Rosewood case is 10.5 x 7.25 x 4 in. These clocks are small! As mentioned before, these movements are so rare. Welch and Spring completely reinvented the wheel in developing Movements for the Patti Clock series, then amazingly made two other completely different movements for the Patti #2, this one being the "ULTRA RARE" Time and Strike version. I have taken some nice pictures of the movement by itself; it's a work of art! (see pictures) The case does have wear and has been repaired in the past. I have taken pictures from every angle so you can "really see" the clock. If you have any questions or need and other pictures, I will be happy to provide. This is a very valuable and worthwhile piece please bid accordingly. Good luck to the highest bidder!Please bid with confidence as we have 100% percent feedback and have been doing this on Ebay for over 20 years!! PLEASE ALLOW UP TO 10 BUSINESS DAYS TO FRAGILE PACK AND SHIP THE CLOCK (Condition: Pre-Owned)
