DESCRIPTION:
Welch, Spring & Co., Forestville, Conn. "Italian No.3" 8 day time and strike double dial calendar shelf clock, with B. B. Lewis's patent calendar mechanism. c1870
CONDITION:
the rosewood case has a nice old finish with no losses and good paper label inside. The upper painted metal label has some wear, the lower one is in better shape. The movement needs cleaning, but more important, the calendar advance gear is missing from its post below the center shaft, so the calendar function will not work until a new gear is located and installed. Also, the lower calendar hands need attention so they clear each other. Ht 19 1/2"
