Description
This is a clean example with original top and feet; the only restorations being the tablet repainted in place (putty is intact), top glass replaced and proper style replacement finials. It does appear that the case was refinished long ago and some of the shellac built up unevenly (it really looks quite good). A comparable example of this clock may be found in Ken Roberts' book on Eli Terry, page 69, figures 20A+B+C. The four wheel train, strap movement, uses the backboard of the case as the back plate of the movement. The label has very minor loss and is really excellent+. Runs and strikes. Height 29 inches
