This clock is by the EN Welch Company of USA.
The company actually started as the Forestville Manufacturing Co., in Forestville, Conn. This was around 1835. When Forestville Manufacturing went bankrupt around 1860, Elisa Nils Welch, absorbed the company. It was renamed the E. N. Welch manufacturing company, in 1864.
The Welch label can be clearly seen on the clock face and the label on the back indicates that it was manufactured at Forrestville
The label on the back is damaged, but the words can be made out:
W(EL)CH M(ANUFACTURING CO)
(FO)RESTVILLE, CO(NN)
W(EL)CH M(ANUFACTURING CO)
(FO)RESTVILLE, CO(NN)
The movement is in good working order.
Both the "lion" ends are missing their brass rings.
The Welch clock bears a striking resemblance to the 1880's Ingraham Flat Top Adrian pictured below.
This Clock IS NOT FOR SALE, it is for comparison only.
