This spectacular E.N. Welch clock is known as an Anglo-American. An American company made the movement, shipped it to England where the case was built and the clock sold to the British market. These clocks are finding there way back and have become very popular due to the attractive inlays and graining. The walnut case is known as the "rolling pin" style. Various woods make up the inlays and are in fine condition. The brass bezel has been polished. The original 11" white painted dial is in fine condition with just a few flakes. It has an 8-Day movement in good working order and strikes the hours only on a lyrical bell. Circa: 1880. This marvelous antique clock is still breathtaking mixed with modern decor and fashion -- a tribute to clockmakers over a century past. H: 32", W: 16", D: 4 1/2" PRICE - $1500 Refer to: #591 This extraordinary original antique wall clock was used in hotels in order to "wake up" guests at a specific time. The clock would ring the desired time by means of a brass peg inserted into the time slot and by means of a rotating electrical system triggering the buzzer. The system was designed by the American Reminder Clock Co. of Binghampton, NY. The movement is signed Baird Clock Co., Plattsburgh, NY. The Seth Thomas Clock Co. made all the Baird movements; hence, the dial signed Seth Thomas. The clock has a faux mahogany finish with patina and copious moldings. The white paper dial is in excellent condition as is the heavy brass pendulum. The 8-Day wind movement is in fine running order. The cord to the electrical system was cut in the past and needs to be repaired or replaced. Binghampton and Plattsburgh are not far from each other; it was not difficult for the electrical designer to obtain movements from Baird especially since the local sheriff took possession of the company's assets on January 31, 1896 and The Baird Clock factory was sold at public auction on February 28, 1896. This rare clock has the potential of an incredible provenance and deserves to be fully researched and appreciated. Can the hotel be discovered? Circa: 1896.
