Ancienne pendule à gousset Metropolitan Mfg Co. 1885 8 jours le plus cher

Antique Mantle Clock Metropolitan Mfg Co. 1885 8-day.

One of the most interesting, unique, and well running clocks I have ever encountered. Moment cleaned and oiled. Case also cleaned inside and out.

Produced by the Metropolitan Manufacturing Company circa 1885 this clock has a front pendulum design.

Old style 8-day brass movement is from the Ingraham clock company and is the cleanest and tightest I have seen in quite a while. Pivots are tight, and it operates smoothly and with a regular and very pleasant tick tock. The cathedral gong strikes on the half hour and chimes out the hours.

The case is of oak and pine construction with brass feet, lions head handles and bezel. Single wooden columns adorn each side. Brass door features flat glass and operates smoothly.

The paper dial has been replaced with one from a Sessions clock. It is the only part that is not original.

Please note that this clock is sold as is, understanding its age.

Dimensions are 15” wide x 13” tall x 8” deep.
