Silas Terry started the firm in 1853, but this clock was probably made after his cousin, Theodore took over the firm in 1854. This unusual movement has its springs behind the backplate. The original dial has some minor restoration. The left molding has been filled in poorly and needs veneer repair. Both glasses and hands are original. The tips on the steeples have been replaced. The clock has a very nice clean label. A rare steeple clock that would have received stiff competition if the case were better. Height 19 1/2"
