Description

Driven Steeple shelf clock, in good original condition, except for the finials, which were properly turned c.1950. This was certainly an interesting variation on the steeple design. The veneer is in excellent condition with only a small repair on the peak. The glasses are original (super tablet) also original dial with minor touch up. A similar example can be found in Distin and Bishop's The American Clock, page 154 (mis-dated 1825). Retains original spring driven alarm; the inside label is about half missing; a very uncommon clock. Height 29 inches
