This clock is unusual as you normally see these cases with New York maker's names on the label. The mahogany veneered case has been stripped and has some minor veneer loss. The top and bottom edges are veneered in Rosewood. The wooden dial has been repainted. The minute hand is a replacement. The top dust cover is new (should be 2-piece, but is single piece). Both glasses are original, and the clock is otherwise complete and sound. A clock with a similar tablet can be seen in "A Treasury of American Clocks" by Brooks Palmer, page 198. Height 26 inches
