Unsigned, most likely American Clock Co., NY, large iron front, 30 hour, gong striking. This is the same iron case as shown in "A Treasury of American Clocks", pg 178, fig 395. The case would have been available to several Connecticut clock firms, C.1860

the tip to the hour hand is missing. Much of the stenciled gilt pattern is worn away. There are some chips in the floral decorations. In spite of the losses, it is still a good example of mid 19th Century clock making. Glass is absent from bottom bezel. Original dial is very clean. Ht 20"
