“Wm. L. Gilbert & Co., Winchester, Conn.”, miniature steeple clock the company named “Miniature Sharp Gothic”, ca 1879.The rosewood case is 14 ¾ inches tall, near perfect, clean, polished, and complete. The tablet is probably a replacement, dial was repainted, has old pendulum, super nice label, old hands, and a 30-hour time only movement. This collector liked all miniature clocks, but they had to have very nice wood cases and a good label. I guess he figured he could have the dials painted and replace glasses if need be. $75-$150.
