C.1835, J.B. and R. Twiss, Montreal, Canada, 30-hour wood movement tall clock, with restorations.
Anonymous (not verified)
23 October 2024
The period pine case has been stripped of whatever finish it originally had, and now with a coat of wax. The waist door is fastened to the case with coiled wire hinges, a Twiss trademark. The original painted dial is worn and is in need of restoration, however the original signature is still readable. The hands are not correct for this movement. The Hoadley type movement has been restored by Don Bruno with the replacement of one arbor and a pinion to drive the count wheel. The clock has a set of reproduction tin can weights and cast iron pendulum bob. Proper type hands can be obtained from Don. There is a nice old glass in the door. The finials currently on the clock are not original. Height 80 inches
