Description
The period mahogany case with maple columns and door is in nice condition. The unusual brass feet are not original to the clock and were added later as the rear feet have been built up to accommodate them. The clock originally had a simple French foot. The glass aperture in the door was added later. The chimneys and fret on the hood also appear to have been added later. From the quality of the case and the type of wood used this case may have originally housed a brass movement. It now has a wood movement with a plain dial with the characteristics of a Silas Hoadley. The movement appears to be in good condition with no broken teeth. The bell standard and bell are replacements. Iron weights with clock will work, but you should order a set of tin canisters from Geo Bruno. A good looking early tall clock than can be enjoyed as is or parted out. Height 88 inches
