As a follow up to the following thread...

https://ihc185.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/9886029761/m/4701097502

I received the clock and spent the weekend cleaning and regulating the movement and calendar, and the clock works great.

To me there appears to be no case parts missing. I can see no indication as to where additional case parts would have been if there originally were there.

The dials are paper over a tin base. As you can see from the photos below the dials are old, but were these clocks made with painted dials or paper? Anyone?

Everything else appears original to me. The glass is super wavy on both top and bottom.

Thank you for all the input.

Grant,
Nice clock. Did you know the same Horton also made these organettes, known as "roller organs"? c 1885 to 1929. The one pictured is dated 1901.

Nice clock Grant! Great pictures.
Thanks for posting.

Andy,
I can always count on you for that extra bit of information that ads a bit of intellectual spice to the topic.
