C.1852 (dated rear cover) Terryville Manufacturing Co., Terryville, Conn., 30-hour torsion pendulum candle stick timepiece. This little timepiece was invented by Silas B. Terry, and is in very good condition. No cracks, but a couple of casting flaws in the milk glass base, one on the outer perimeter, and another not seen inside. The movements with these brass dials are usually found with Ansonia Clock Co. embossed on the dial. So, the question is: has this dial had its center portion removed, or is it correct? An example pictured in Palmers Treasury shows the dial cut out as this one. Examples of this timepiece, with Ansonia dials can be found in Tran Duy Ly's Ansonia Clocks and Watches book, pages 79-81. The hands, although old & look OK, are not original. Height 8.5 inches
