Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. “No.11 Octagon”, ca. 1880.  A dark 21-inch case and a clean and bright full front paper dial, old but probably not original; correct hands all around.  The movement is a Welch 8-day time-and-strike marked “Made for ICCC”.  It is dirty and we can’t get it running.  A bigger problem is the linkage to the calendar movement, which is missing.  In addition, the lift-arm is sticky and so won’t drop freely as required to advance the calendar.  The calendar movement is rusty and not working properly either, so this guy needs some serious attention from someone who knows Ithaca calendar clocks.  The pendulum bob should be nickel, and I think the backboard has been replaced; that is common because owners leave the back off to easily reset the calendars.  Some case clean-up and some repair are needed here.  These have been selling for about $350 of late.  $250-$350.
