Steeple clock, "Daniel Pratt and Sons, Reading, Mass.", ca early 1850's. Copied from the full backboard label.

Research indicates this company and "Daniel Pratt's Sons" were in business during the 1860's. The movement in this case is signed, "J.C.Brown, Forrestville, Ct.U.S.A.". I believe the movement and dial are original to this case. The dial is old, original, and unsigned. The glasses are old, the bottom glass, a painting of Buckingham Palace, is period, and could well be original to this case. 8 day brass movement strikes a coil gong each hour. The mahogany veneer case has never been cleaned, retains the old crust finish. Just under 20 inches high, the veneer is awfully good for a case this old. The worst place is on the left back side, all easily repaired. The finials are threaded, also black and soot covered, tips can be restored. Several Bulletin articles will help you learn about this early clockmaker.
