Gilbert Mantel Clock

Hi, I just purchased this clock and would like to know a bit more about it.

On the Face

Wm L Gilbert Clock Co.
Winsted, Conn.

With a G in a diamond below the centre.

Inside, stamped on the back of workings

G in a diamond,

26

manufacturers name, as above


Nothing written on the wooden case/box at all. Looks like there may have been a label on the back cover.

It has a lovely chime sound and counts the hours and also chimes once on the half hour.

I have read about the maker but cannot find one similar so I suspect that the case may not be original??
