Description
The case is pine, with mahogany veneer. (After they moved from Concord, Mass, to Burlington, VT, hardwoods were difficult to come by, so they used veneer). It uses a typical Concord style movement, secured to the case back with a single screw from the rear. The bottom door (bezel & panel) have been copied from another clock, and show maybe 25 years of age; they used a different hinge to secure the door and had to fill in a portion of the side piece to accommodate it. The original dial has some scratches a wear but is really very good for its age; hands, pulley and weight are original. Top and bottom case trim are original and with fine detail. For reference, see Palmer's Treasury of American Clocks, page 46, which pictures a Dunning of the same style. Would be worth $7500 if had orig bottom door. Height 44 inches
