gold gilt probably originally, now dirty and mottled. The door latch, dial, and pendulum are correct. The movement is 30-hour, time
only, and running. The label is spotty, not absolutely sure “Spring & Co, Forestville, Conn.” are on the label. Case and dial
not nearly as nice as #361. Also, the case is thicker than #360. Perhaps it is just a Welch, not Welch, Spring. $50-$100.
