Description

The tablet and feet, and top scroll + finial are new, however the balance of the clock is generally old, with some veneer pieced in and the dial poorly repainted, with the whole chapter ring about 5Ü too far to the left. The movement is especially unusual, winding at 10 o'clock, an attribute of David Wood, Newburyport (see Treasury of American Clocks, page 32 for virtually identical movement). Since Wood used flat arched dials, it is possible that this old dial pan has been married to the movement. Mr. Cooperman ran this clock for a long time, and the weight and pendulum were in place when we picked the clock up. Height 35 inches
