"Here's another clock that I like to show this is a 19th century clock pretty rare clock hard to find in good condition this is walnut with cutout filigrees around the edges you can see it has a moon dial, it has up here it shows the hour and roman numerals and down here you see the calender right that goes around 31 days. And if you see the dials right here you can see the month and the day and they're both on wheels that turn so you go February, March, April, May and this will turn at the same time Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday a really nice detail clock and it's made by Ethica calender clock company from Ethica, NY. I'm just going to open it up you can't see much more on the inside whether unless you take the clock apart, but you can see some of the really nice detail cutouts in the wood here. This piece actually can be unscrewed and taken out and these are wooden rollers with paper dials and these papers are wind up inside the clock and move as the calender moves and the clock moves. So this is a nice example of an Ethica clock and really nice condition a walnut case with nice little filigree on the top and details on the edges, this isn't the kind of clock that difficult to find and expensive, but if your lucky enough to own one they're really a nice addition to anyones collection."
