Made to order, this clock case features the same specifications as the 1880 clocks did. My clock case sides are hand made, straight grain walnut veneer over basswood. The ornamental wood is high grade walnut burl veneer. The door is walnut veneer over pine. The mouldings, and carvings are solid walnut. The case is finished in the original stain formulated from the Ithaca Calendar Clock Company purchase and supply ledger of 1866. In short what you see is exactly what the antique clock looked like when it was purchased.
