with the name of A. Willard on the dial and with restorations. This is actually a clock with some potential that can be enjoyed as is or restored. This style case normally had black and gold glasses similar to those preferred by A. Willard Jr., and Edward Howard, but now it has a ship scene in the bottom and a wallpaper design in the throat. The mahogany case has well figured moldings applied to the throat and the door; also note attractive mask on lower door with oval opening. The iron weight is old, but has been ground to fit the space behind the baffle. Another of Dr. Stroup's photogenic clocks. Height 39 inches
