Samuel Abbott, Dover, N.H., tall clock, 8 days, time and strike, weight driven movement in a walnut (?) case with fretted hood, reeded full columns flanking dial, and trunk with reeded corner columns surmounted by brass capitals resting on ogee bracket feet. The painted iron dial is decorated with patriotic shields, c1812 the case retains its original finish with losses to very top of original fretwork and the sidelights are absent. There are old repairs to original ogee bracket feet. The dial signature is fading and there is some inpainting. The finials are absent and the pendulum needs a rating nut. Notes from Chris Bailey: American-made dial. I don't think the case is walnut. Hard to tell, but more likely maple or cherry with darkened finish. Nice original hands, interesting American-made movement. With professional cleaning and restoration of the dial and some finials, this would be a very nice New England clock. Ht 86"
