wooden movement Torrington pillar and scroll shelf clock. This model has the Torrington movement designed by his brother Norris. This clock is from the collection of Luther Spangler, and a picture of this very clock will be found in Palmer's Book of American Clocks, figure 192, with the dial off to show the movement. It is also pictured in Dreppard's American Clocks and Clockmakers. Several hurts are not apparent from these photos, but you can clearly see it is the same clock. Most important is that the dial was cracked and broken in two and glued together (although the surface is still original). Second, the entire scroll and finials was made new (75 years ago), and finally, the upper glass has a crack and the lower tablet is a replacement (a nice etched glass). With some careful restoration this would be a good example of a very rare clock. Super label. Height 26 inches
