CONDITION:
top center trim with 7 little spindles has been gone for a long time; see "Welch Clocks", by Tran Duy Ly for picture of what it should look like.

Movement will tick, but oil congealed long ago and Movement needs thorough cleaning; minor surface rust on verge, otherwise, no problems. Hands are later replacements and need to be fitted better. Original pendulum and stick with original gold leaf (worn); good original beat scale; bob is good with no dents -polish marks reflect light in odd way. Porcelain dial has hairlines at 1 and near winding holes. Bezel has been turned 1/4 inch on mask, leaving spare holes. Exterior finish on this case is 100% original, with great patina. Weights are original. This clock came from a private home in Branford, CT where it has hung for decades. This is a very hard to find model, and finishing the top should leave you with a $6500 clock.

James Arthur, New York City, a "one-of-a-kind" shelf banjo time piece, weight driven, 8 day. 1903 [dated]
CONDITION:
Odd pieces from the James Arthur estate have filtered onto the market over the past half century, and older collectors recognize his work at first sight. Arthur emigrated to NY from Scotland and owned and operated a New York City machine shop for patent models. Both the study of clocks and making unique items were his hobby. The substantial and well made mahogany case has nice proportions. Arthur created a jewel-like pattern on the movement mounting plate and on the heavy brass weight cover. The heavy turned brass pendulum bob is typical of his work. The top and bottom door are latched by heavy brass latches from the period. Weight runs on a vertical steel track so it cannot get lost or forgotten. This clock is signed with his stamp and dated 1903 on the rear of the pendulum bob. Ht 37"
