Description
circa 1900 Atkins Clock Co. Mantle Clock in fair condition, good story behind it too. Gold paint on glass front is slightly diminishing, still ticking! in the front of case the wood has small crack and it looks like it was professionally repaired at that point.a few small dings in the front base and the latch is worn on the door. Original paper clock face in tact but needs tender care and attention to be restored to a working state. (its warped and crispy) so I just removed it(it was just dangling there) and put it away for safe keeping.
