C.1828, Silas Hoadley, Plymouth, Conn, 30-hour pillar and
scroll shelf clock. The name was misspelled "Hoadly" on the label. The middle finial column is broken but easily repaired. One of the ears has been broken and repaired. Two corner chimneys show signs of damage and repair. The upper glass is older than the clock, freshly puttied in place (plenty wavy). The lower tablet is a piece of sheet zinc recently painted with a modern design and hole cut in the center for a piece of glass. Someone put a knob on the door. Despite these shortcomings, the dial is extra nice and the hands are original as are the top and feet. Included is a letter from Geo. Ford (a Hoadley relative) to Mr. Cooperman stating that the tin tablet is original (doubtful). The right workman could make this into a wonderful clock. Height 29 inches
