American Welch Mantle Clock, Victorian Period

[admin]

A good score today. I was sitting in the doctors waiting room bored and was browsing Gumtree and this went up 1 minute before.




Its made by E N Welch, who went broke in 1903 and were taken over by Sessions.

This particular clock is from 1880 to 1890 and would have been made at Forrestville Connecticut. Its in remarkably good condition. I bought it off a couple in their late 60's and she got it when her aunt died. The aunt was from a relatively wealthy family that lived in Essendon Victoria.

Its not particuarly worth a heap of money, but it worth much much more than the $120 I paid for it

Its ticking away nicely.
