C.1838, Daniel Pratt, Reading, Mass, stenciled column and splat, 30 hour wooded works, as-found, in need of restoration. Note this odd case has triangular columns, usually a NH feature and usually in maple. These however are black with original stenciling (weak but visible). Stenciling on the splat is weak but visible as well. The Pratt label is fairly good (some losses) and is dated 1838; dial is a little dirty but retains good paint and decent Roman chapter. The iron bell has been improperly replaced with a stamped alarm bell. There is missing veneer along the base board, bottom door edge and top corners. Has potential for the collector who likes something a little different. Height 35 inches
