Description

Wall clock with a figure 8 design of the glass doors. The upped door shows the clock hands (one short black, one longer black hand and a red second hand). The numerals on the clock for time are done in roman numerals and the numbers on the edge of the clock face are from 1-31 and are used for timing the seconds. The clock is wound by a key and has a pendulum that is metal with a design on it. In the centre of the pendulum is a shiny circle. The bottom of the pendulum has an adjusting screw to either slow or speed up the clock. 
The wood on the clock has been painted brown. The doors are attached with hinges and each door has a latch to hold the door closed. 
This clock was purchased by Mr. McTaggart at a second hand store in Moose Jaw in 1902.
