Description
This clock has parts from 2 different clocks that we are able to identify. The backboard, label and dial and movement are from a Chauncey Boardman long drop, the movement converted to short drop with a new escape wheel and winding barrels. The case proper appears to be from a Terry, however the scrolls and feet are C.1970 restorations. The tablet was painted by Herschel Burt at that time (nicely done). The rear of the clock has a newspaper glued over it, the BOSTON RECORDER, Thursday, April 25, 1844. The consignor of this clock paid $750 to a dealer in 1971, and we advised him that he would likely get his money back without interest. A very good looking clock. Height 32 inches
