Beginning in 1830 Chauncey was involved with many clock firms, including C.&L.C. Ives, J.C. Brown, and others, then alone from 1852-1855 when he declared bankruptcy. These small 20.75" clocks were proportionately like the standard 32" column and cornice clocks being made at that time. The miniatures generally used an 8 day spring movement held to the case with mounting blocks. They struck the hours on a coil gong. This very nice mahogany veneer case has hand grained half columns, gold capitals and bases, 2 excellent glasses, one original, one replaced, but painted to match by Tom Moberg. Excellent full label, signed painted dial (original and on zinc), and a period pendulum. The best reference I found was NAWCC Bulletin Supplement #18, page 90. Pictures of case, movement, and label are shown.
