Gilbert Spain circa 1907 Description Antique Gilbert Black Mantel or Shelf Clock, 8 day time and half hour strike, from 1907 (movement is marked 1907), in excellent working condition, named Spain. A large impressive clock. Original finish restored. High gloss shine is that way without wax or polish. Has three imitation onyx (celluloid) flanking the face with green marbleized panels behind the columns and on the sides. This clock also features ornate metal feet and an ornate crown. Incised gold design around the face in excellent condition. Brass bezel and brass centered face polished and finished. Paper time track (numbers) is replaced . Metal trimmings restored to their original antique gold finish with metal leaf, which retains its luster and will not turn brown (as gold paint does after a couple of years). Clock movement has been overhauled, worn bushings replaced, all time train bushings replaced. Clock movement has just been serviced (serviced means cleaned, lubricated, and balanced), using only the finest German synthetic lubricants. Synthetic lubricants are superior to standard petrochemical 'oils'. They have better lubricating qualities, are longer lasting and do not discolor, smell or become gummy with age, requiring less frequent maintenance. This clock is in excellent condition, except for a couple of very minor dings read more
