Perhaps an interior shop or trade sign for a watch and clock maker. The large oval sheet metal case is in the form of a watch with a brass bow. It has stenciled decoration of an American eagle and floral sprays around the central door. There is a Waterbury seven-day movement with strike and pendulum which appears to have never been touched. The pendulum, bob and adjusting screw were loose in the bottom of the case with no indication they were ever put together. A most interesting and visually striking time piece.
Date: Circa 1854-1880
Measurement: Height: 25 1/8", width: 17", depth: 3", Hanging bow: 5.75", diameter of dial: 6")
Condition: The movement needs cleaning. (We have a clockmaker available)
