New England Clock Co. wall clock

One of my favorites; a gift for my birthday, purchased new from a clock shop. Mahogany or cherry. A 14-day striker movement. Quiet and winds without threatening to tear your fingers off. Keeps great time and generally well behaved. If you watch the sitcom Spin City, there's a bar set where they sometimes go after work to drink: there's a clock that's virtually identical to this one mounted on the wall by their table.

I believe this case is called Empire style, as opposed to Colonial, which had the curves and the finial in the middle. I really like this style but most clocks seem to be colonials.

The New England Clock Company was started by the family that ran the Sessions company for years, until Sessions was taken over. Sadly, the company folded in (I believe) the early 2000s. There's a short write-up about them here.

Acquired: February, 1986, from my parents

Current condition: looks and runs great.
