Gilbert was a well known maker of Mantle clocks. William L. Gilbert began his career in Bristol, Connecticut, a regional center of the clock business, and moved to Winchester in 1840, where he produced relatively low-cost wall and shelf clocks for the mass market. He built the case shop, located on the river bank, in 1870-71, when his business was one of the largest clock manufactories in the state. The company continued to grow, its complex on Wallens Street growing to four large buildings and employing more than 500 workers. The company continued in business until 1964.

Not much value currently for these late 19th to early 20th Century clocks though, generally under $100.00 at auction.
