This is a Farmers #10 model calendar clock made by the Ithaca Calendar Clock Co. As received the clock was missing the entire top. Other than that the clock was in great original condition and 100% complete. This clock was actually a gift from a very generous elderly gentleman from our church. Talk about a great Christmas present. So when I got it, I wanted to see if the calendar mech was working properly. To check this I advanced the clock hands forward past midnight to see what would happen. To my amazement the day of the week wheel went backwards from Wednesday to Tuesday! I thought I was in the twilight zone or maybe some sort of weird ground hog day syndrome! I then checked my cell phone to see if some time warp had just occurred……Nope!
Here is a 3/4 view of the restored clock
Here is the Ithaca Calendar clock restored. Patterns and measurements were obtained to make the top as close a replica a possible. I think it came out really well. Oh, and by the way, the calendar wheels and dates all go in the correct direction now, things were just gummed up.
