Description
The movement in this clock is a ladder movement designed by Silas B. Terry with narrow plates and the main spring outside the back plate. It is correct and original to this clock. Gilbert apparently purchased movements, etc. from Terry after Terry went bankrupt. The door has been regilded and the mirror is debatable. If the clock had a Silas B. Terry label in lieu of a Gilbert full label, it would be quite valuable. The mahogany veneer case is just under 9.5 inches high, and the entire case is near perfect except for the door paint and wear around the door latch. A similar clock is shown in Ly-American Clocks, Volume 3, page 95.
