Other Notes: A similar example is described and pictured on pgs. 39 - 40 of THE LURE OF THE CLOCK by D.W. Hering from the James Arthur Collection at New York University. The example in the Arthur Collection is 96" high, constructed of mahogany and also housing a Howard movement. The author describes the clock as "an example of high - class case building by an unknown maker." A copy of this book accompanies this lot.
