My "new" Ithaca perpetual calendar clock! Made between 1866 and 1874. It's set and running in the kitchen right now, just need to adjust the weight a little to get it running on time...

I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

It is supposed to be geared for the correct number of days in each month and has a cam to add Feb 29th for leap year, I'll see how it does over the months and years.

The coo coo bird makes sure it doesn't get damaged. LOL He also hopes it keeps perfect time... Very nice piece of history right there. Cool cars and things very collectable....

Very nice! I love old clocks. A classic beauty, much like our firebirds.

Very nice. I have a modest Ingraham shelf clock, and an 1812 Seth Thomas long case clock (wooden clockworks). Old timepieces, like old cars, are worthy of preservation and attention.
