This is an 8-day fusee movement using a heavy chain drive from a detached spring barrel, and lever escape with a vertical balance. The dial was repainted some time ago and is flaking again. The Rosewood veneer is in excellent condition with just a couple of veneer chips at the corners and small ding at the top. A similar example can be found in "Treasury of American Clocks" Pg. 117; this is an exceptional Connecticut mirror clock. Includes unusual spanner wrench used to wind in initial tension in the main spring. Height 36 inches
