good original condition. Albert was brother of Edward Howard and apprenticed under him from 1855. This particular clock is a transitional piece, probably produced after Davis left Howard, and before Albert left to produce clocks on his own in 1858, at 109 Washington St. The dial is marked E. Howard and Co, paper on zinc, that would have been printed in 1857 during the transition period as Davis was leaving to put his energy in the watch business. Tablets like those used by Howard and Davis. Despite all of the names involved, this clock appears to be original, as produced. Does have a brass reinforcement in the throat to aid failed glue joints, plus bottom board replaced. Height 32 inches
