Up for sale is this antique Eco Magneto Clock Company time recorder, when the watchmen would check in at various locations in the building this was the central device recording it all. A very important part of American Industrialism.
This is a parts or repair project, the movement needs a complete overhaul, and the key is also missing. The case is solid oak, it would probably clean quite nicely with some finish treatment, but it's pretty worn as you see it.
There is some ornate trim around the top and in an envelope accompanying the clock there was a good bit more, maybe for around the bottom or door. The glass has a film on it, I haven't had much luck removing it, I tried some warm soapy water and a paper towel, you can see what I'm referring to in a photo. Measures about 14" X 12 1/4" x 7.
