Hello
Yes, the Eagle was produced by the Wm. L. Gilbert Clock Co. of Winsted, Conn. The company had a very long history that is related well at this address:

I have an eagle, and have found no information about so far. By using historical information fon the company i have been able to estimate my clock was made in 1879 (give or take). I was "gifted with the clock which stuck me as ug-ug-ugly(!)
I let it sit for a year for inspiration, and ended up going for a redesign of the case and a cleaning tune-up of the works. I have a a variety of parts that were not used during the rebuild, I have a the extrrior lumber , most of the door, and the door glass (etched/guilded). I aslo have the original bob from thr pendulum.
please contact me if you have any questions I might help with

A highly desirable antique.
No Clock Co Gilbert ceased trading in 1964.
Back in the days that this clock was manufactured by William L. Gilbert in Winsted Conn. most towns had a bell that not only rang for fires, but also for other alerts that included a curfew for children.
no
How much is this clock worth
To wind up a 3-hole Gilbert clock, first locate the winding arbor keyholes on the clock face. Insert the winding key into each keyhole and turn it clockwise until you feel resistance, indicating that the clock spring is fully wound. Be careful not to overwind the clock, as this can damage the mechanism.
i have a gilbert noah clock made in about 1920 and bought in australia
