You can try looking on eBay for an E. N. Welch movement, but you would need to know what movement was in there originally. Try to find a picture of a very similar clock listed on eBay. It may take a while, but they turn up from time to time.
The reason for looking there is that it is one place where the movement is usually pictured along with the clock itself. If you look anywhere else, the picture is usually of just the clock.
E. N. Welch went out of business in 1902, a couple of years after a fire destroyed their movement plant. During 1899 - 1900, The Gilbert Clock Company was contracted to make their movements. So if your clock is from these years, it may have had a Gilbert movement.
Maybe it is possible that Waterbury also made some movements for them during this time. The total history of this company is far from complete. Are there any extra screw holes where it would show that the movement has been changed?
I hope this helps you rather than just confuse you further. It is unfortunate that so much of these clock companies' histories has been lost.

EN Welch Gerster VP movement by: Greg
I did find a couple photos of what I believe is the correct Gerster VP movement although not on eBay. The pendulum I have is correct. I was told on another forum that an unrestored Welch Gerster VP movement could cost $700-800. I'm shopping for the correct dial as well.
Thanks, Greg
Movement and Case Different IDs by: Ronkde@optonline.net
My suggestion would be to look back through the history of the two manufacturers. For I have read that Ingraham received cases from E N Welch who produced a number of cases and movenments for several other companies.
My family clock circa 1870 - 1890 has a case made by E N Welch and the movement by Ingraham. This clock has all original case and parts because it has been in my family's possession since the clock was purchased. I reviewed the history of the case and movement and found that the case was made by E N Welch for Ingraham who made the movement. Hope this is helpful. Don

[url=http://uk.bestessays.com/]essays[/url]is an instrument used to indicate, keep, and co-ordinate time. The word clock is derived ultimately (via Dutch, Northern French, and Medieval Latin) from the Celtic words clagan and clocca meaning "bell". A silent instrument lacking such a mechanism has traditionally been known as a timepiece.[1] In general usage today a "clock" refers to any device for measuring and displaying the time. Watches and other timepieces that can be carried on one's person are often distinguished from clocks
