C.1835, David Dutton, Mont Vernon, NH, 30-hour wood movement time/strike/alarm (3-weight) wall clock.

Although Charlie Parsons doesn't show this configuration in his book, we have seen a couple over the years. At first glance they appear to be a converted shelf clock, but they are not. The mirror frame has been painted with gold paint, but there is evidence of gold leaf under the paint. The glass and mirror in the frame are old. The painted dial is very nice and fits the mirror opening quite well top and bottom, but is a little narrow on the sides. The Terry type movement has an alarm and there is evidence of where the bell was originally mounted on top of the case (the bell is now inside the case, loose; the strike bell is in the normal position on the back of the case. An uncommon item for Dutton collectors. Height 32.5 inches
