There was only a spiral stair case going up, so it must have been lifted to get there in the past. I have two different Wm. Reed catalogs from the 1880's and they are pictured and the only difference being the hardware.
Mom, commandeered one for her glassware, the other is mine, I think! Well, this old fart can't rotate the photos, please feel free to do so for me. Thank You!

Wm. Reed & Sons Gun cabinets
Good Morning Russel,
Here are a few photos of the clock and included is my orig Fox trap gun, to keep this thread on track. This has been in our family as long as I can remember, and Dad kept it running when I was a kid, then it would only run for short periods. In the '80's he took it to a clock man in Allentown for a long overdue cleaning and now it runs for nearly a day per wind and keeps time to +/- 5 minutes per day when company visits. It is a family clock from my Dad's Pa. Dutch side, that was a wedding present in the late 1800's. Everyone seems to like it, is it a desirable piece??
