This wall clock is typical of those produced by Cheney, a native of Connecticut, during his later years working at Burlington, VT and Montreal. This clock has a very nice original 12 inch chapter painted iron dial with original signature stamped "M. Cheney / Montreal." Banjo-style weight-driven movement in good condition, mounts to a seating board and obviously original to case. Note one screw is missing from the suspension bridge. Intricately turned bezel which hinges at top. Original glass in bezel and in small aperture in lower door. Original hands. This is a very nice example. Height 30.5 inches
