C.1840, S. B. Terry, Plymouth, Conn., 8-day time/strike weight shelf clock.
This mahogany veneered column and cornice case is in unrestored condition. There are some places on the case that need veneer repair, such as along the base, the cornice, and the sides (veneer chips have been stained in, so do not show in the foto). The original dial is quite nice with some wear around the winding holes. The upper glass is original. The lower glass is original, but the attractive leaf/painted design is probably late 19th C; (has been there for 100+ years for sure), some of the original putty has chipped out; other missing putty filled in. There is a very nice original label in the case. The robust movement has Terry's skeletonized round front plate with a square back plate screwed to the backboard (strips added to strengthen backboard). Minute hand with solder repair. Generally a good example of Silas Terry's work. Height 36 inches
