Description
(East Hartford, Conn), now in a C.1825 heavy fruitwood country case with small keystone door. Although the case will not win any awards for beauty, the large and robust movement is Fabulous÷ the best part being the wooden dial, which has a brass veneer, and heavy cast brass spandrels in the finest English style, plus an applied engraved and silvered chapter ring, the whole offset by a rocking ship in the arch, and a calendar aperture above the 6. Retains original pendulum; weights are proper tin can replacements. Height 81 inches
