Description
This is really a great looking clock with super original graining on the case, original dial, pendulum (with original pattern and lacquer) plus original black and gold tablets, with border coated from the rear (but NOT replaced). Typical of Howard and Davis models right around 1850-55, this has a printed paper dial on zinc, some slight darkening due to age, but overall wonderful. There should be a small block of wood, beside the movement, under the small dial hole at 3; you can see the shadow where it broke away; this was often used to stabilize the thin zinc dials for the no. 1 and no. 2. Also the dial with a couple of small tears and a small stain. Pend tie down assembly missing. Height 44 inches
