8-day time and strike OG clock with very early brass movement by Hiram Welton, Plymouth, Connecticut.
A nationally recognized authority on antique American clocks evaluated this unusually large OG clock by Hiram Welton as being very early and quite unusual. The brass movement wheels feature the style and size only found in the earliest models of this type clock. Hiram Welton was a contemporary with the Eli Terry Clock Co. and the label inside the clock says "At the old stand of Eli Terry Company" (see photograph). The words "8 DAY" on the label inside the case indicates that when this clock was produced at the Terryville, Connecticut factory the more frequently used 30 hour label was installed and then over- pasted with the 8-day designation. The reverse painting on the lower door glass is in excellent condition (see photograph) and is a later addition to the case. Most 8-day OG clock cases are about 30" in height, this is 33". The excellent Mahogany veneer is also original to the case and in good condition as is the wood dial (see photograph). The brass movement was recently professionally cleaned and runs well.
