Description

This walnut cased clock uses the same 8-day time and strike, ladder chain movement, used in models such as the Library. The carving depicts a life size turkey and an African-American hunter (heavy facial features and tight ringlets of hair), happy with his trophy for the day. Minor nicks and scrapes to case, but overall nice and with phenomenal detail. Original movement, pendulum, numerals and hands, even the large iron weights are the same as we have seen on Waterbury mission clocks, and we assume they are OK. Minor nicks and scrapes to case, but overall good condition. See movement pictured for lot 524; they are the same. Width = 26", Height 30 inches
