Union Labor Company, Southington, CT, candlestick clock, porcelain column supporting a square plate 30 hours, timepiece with pendulum, pallet arbor with wire and attached caricature of a black man moving from side to side as the clock runs, the lithograph likely cut from a late 19th century trade card, white glossy card stock dial with Roman numerals, spade hands, all on an ebonized base with glass dome, c1865 porcelain column with crack, dial with minor dirt and wear, hands good, movement ticks, would benefit from cleaning, pendulum ball replaced, ebonized surface on base with crazing and deterioration, dome good. It is rare to have the moving face survive. All the models originally had some type of moving figure which was attached to the pallets by a pin, but in most cases they are missing. Ht 10"
