Up for sale is an authentic early 20th-century American mechanical shelf clock produced by the renowned William L. Gilbert Clock Co. in Winsted, Connecticut. This clock features a beautiful, classic Gothic Steeple / Cathedral pointed-arch wooden architectural casing accented by two turned side finial pillars.

An incredible restoration canvas for an antique horologist, clockmaker, or a beautiful decorative statement piece for a rustic mantle bookshelf display.
**Item Features & Details:*** **Authentic Mechanical Movement:** Open brass gear plate layout inside featuring an integrated rear coil strike chime spring and a central brass pendulum bob assembly.* **Cabinet Accessibility:** The front pointed-arch glass door opens fully on dual side hinges via a small brass front pull knob. The rear access panel features a clever slide-out wood door with an upper latch hook lock.* **Dimensions:** Stands approximately 11 inches tall to the peak of the steeple roof, measures 7.5 inches wide across the base platform, and has a depth of about 4.5 inches (see photos with tape measure for precise scale).
**Condition Report (Selling Strictly "As-Is" for Parts, Restoration, or Prop Use):*** **Cosmetics:** The wood cabinet is in solid structural condition with normal light age-appropriate surface scuffs, small varnish flakes, and edge wear. The front door glass panels are intact with no chips or cracks. The dial face shows natural vintage paper yellowing/browning and mild scuffs.* **Mechanics & Functionality:** The clock is currently NON-RUNNING. The movement appears to be fully wound (the winding arbor will not turn clockwise under normal pressure), but the pendulum will not stay in motion when started manually and does not make a ticking sound. Additionally, the hour hand does not engage or advance when the minute hand is rotated manually.* **Missing Items:** This sale does NOT include a winding key or case key.
Please inspect all high-resolution photos provided—including detailed macro shots of the inner movements and base stampings—to evaluate the exact cosmetic and mechanical condition of this clock before purchasing.
