This beautiful antique clock is called "Ersa" by the Gilbert Clock Co. According to my research, the label used dates the clock from 1880 to 1885. The movement inside is marked "Pat'd June 3, 1879. I used this web site for some of my information: /datingtrademarks.php It appears to be all original. T is one very small piece of wood missing on the very top final and is hard to notice. It can be hung as a wall clock or used as a mantle clock. The measurements for this clock are: 19-3/4" tall, 11" wide and 3-3/4" deep. It comes with a key and the pendulum. It does chime on the hour when the hands are advanced but the pendulum stops swinging. I don't know if this is a balance problem or if the movement needs oiling. It does wind ok. T is some loss to the design on the glass in the door, but the door closes tightly and t is no damage to the glass itself. It is a beautiful clock that would need little to restore it to its original beauty. I am selling it in as found condition as is. Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding. This is a one time listing. If it doesn't sell it won't be relisted. Because of the fragile nature of this antique clock, insurance is required for your protection and mine.
