“American Clocks / Favorite / Eight-day With Alarm / Sold Only By / The Geneva Clock Company”, copied from the complete label in this OG cased clock sold by The American Clock Company, ca 1874. The label also has a large picture of the old Jerome Clock Factory that was then owned by the New Haven Clock Co. that was the maker of this clock. The American Clock Company sold clocks for New Haven, Seth Thomas, Welch, Terry, Ansonia, and others. The 30-hour brass movement in this case is signed by New Haven and it is in operating condition. The 26-inch veneered case is very nice, and unusual looking wood graining that they called, Zebra. The glasses, dial, movement, etc. are all original to this case. Ly-New Haven #1220. $100-$200.
