Thankyou for the info. They aren't identical thou they are very similar.
Hi Lovee0428,
Welcome to Collectors Weekly.
You have a model called the "Dacca" from circa 1885.
Here's a link to one example: http://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/w.-l.-gilbert-dacca-model-mantel-clock.-c.-18-1401-c-04e1605e08
Do a search for the model name and you can find other examples as well.
If that solves your mystery, please indicate "Mystery Solved" in your listing. If not, let us know what other questions you may have.
Thanks for sharing your heirloom.
I have one - and it keeps great time. It only strikes the hour. Mine is similar, not the same.
Bruce 99 that is the same clock!!! Thankyou for your help.
You're welcome Lovee0428. I'm glad we could help.
