Condition
We regret to inform you that we have just discovered that the Birge & Mallory J. Ives lyre clock is a copy made in the late 60’s to 70’s. The owner had contacted the NAWCC museum through photography and was under the assumption this was a rare and old clock which it would be as one of only 3 known. This clock is made of old and new parts, it is still a very unusual fabulous looking clock. 10 times rarer than a Stennes for example. We are but are not embarrassed because we did not know any copies existed. This rare clock will still make a great example and addition to any advanced collection. We apologize for any inconvenience to bidders.
