C.1836, Daniel Pratt, Jr., Reading, Mass., 8-day time/strike wood movement, double deck, 1/2 column and splat shelf clock. The veneer is in pretty nice condition with some minor chips and repairs on the front and some minor losses on the back edge of the sides. The nicely painted bottom tablet is a replacement, nicely done in appropriate style; top glass is new. The dial is very clean and the hands are original; note dial is warped and keeps top door from closing properly. The splat has its original stenciling; note this style columns were not stenciled. Original 12 pound weights with proper relief for cord, also one old pulley and one proper re-make (weights are compounded on this model). At first glance this appears as a normal column and splat and the real surprises are inside. Height 35.75 inches
