Description
Although Mr. Cooperman had tablets painted to match his Howards, this clock is earlier by some 20 years. The large movement is unsigned, but of exceptional quality with thick plates and finely cut wheels, the front plate drilled for filister screws (now has machine screws holding movement in at the original holes). The original hammered iron dial has been on and off the case a hundred times, but the extra holes in the dial all line up with case holes. The pendulum is a home made replacement, and the round brass weight is inappropriate but runs the clock; baffle missing; no tie down assembly. The well figured mahogany case has key locks on top bezel and bottom door; throat is also hinged. Big and with potential. Height 51 inches
