Ford for a Silas Hoadley time-piece and alarm movement".

Some old wood and case parts were used and some parts are new. The movement is missing the alarm train and alarm bell. The dial, while resembling a Hoadley dial, is new and the hands are new copies. The door appears to have been made from a period door which was extended in length, The mirror and upper glass are old. Ht 23 1/4".
