Veneer wise the case is in quite good condition with some minor veneer loss on the chimney pieces and the side returns. The back feet are not original. The bone escutcheon and lock are missing. Two pieces of the backboard behind the movement have been replaced. The case retains original mahogany plated 8-day movement (see also lot 375). The hands are original. The label is in beautiful condition. Details of this movement may be seen in Ken Roberts' book, Eli Terry and the Connecticut Shelf Clock, pages 209-211. The clock has one original pulley dust cover.
