Condition: Used & Operational Size: 21 inches tall by 12 inches wide and 4.5 inches deep Country of Origin: United States Manufacturer: Wm L. Gilbert Clock Company The beautiful old clock dates to 1905. It has an authentic Wm L. Gilbert brass clock movement. What a piece of artwork this clock is.
The brass movement has been checked and serviced and the clock is running perfectly and keeping good time. This is a chiming/striking clock that counts the hour every hour at the top of the hour. It also strikes the half hour with one chime. The gong is a very deep tone and most pleasant.

The winding key comes the clock and when the mainsprings are fully wound, the clock will run for approximately 8 days. These clocks were always wound on the same day of the week--usually on Sundays.
The clock case is in great condition with the normal wear for over 100 years. There are no broken pieces that I can find.
This clock also has a reverse painted silver floral design on the front glass door which is very charming.
The pendulum also appears to be original with the clock--very ornate and beautiful with brass bob and vines with leaves.
