C.1816, Eli Terry, Outside Escape, Pillar & Scroll in very good restored condition.
Original dial is very good with some wear; engraved Eli Terry label is fair, bottom tablet is a proper replacement, reverse painting of a Japanese pagoda is correctly done with border on 3 sides only. The dial has screws to hold it on (a common situation since the pins Terry used did not hold up). The movement was repaired by Walter Jabbs, July 1975, with another repairman, Jesse Pickrell, Nov 1871, Greenville, SC. Note movement & bell are mounted to the dial, and that is the reason the outboard dial pins usually fail & are replaced with screws. Has all 3 good original Terry style finials, original pressed brass door latch. Tiger maple door is original, refinished. With period set of cast lead weights, and 2 old wooden pulleys. Scrolls and feet appear to be original; feet have been busted off and reglued couple of times. The early lead hour hand is original; the minute hand is a replacement, and you can get a better one from Geo Bruno. Finials are at desk. Height 32 inches
