J. R. Mills & Co., Belleville New Jersey, Aaron D. Crane's Single-ball year fusee time and strike, spring brass movement shelf clock.

24 October 2024
Painted cherry case has loss scattered loss on the base and top. Original pressed dial surround now has a painted dial off another clock. These clocks had a paper dial with a glass front. A picture of the correct dial can be found in NAWCC Bulletin Supplement 16, "Aaron Dodd Crane, An American Original", pg 49. Hands are not original. The door looks to be period and fits the case, but maybe a replacement as the knob on this model uses a screw thread arrangement to lock the door and is placed at the cross bar. The knob on this door it is placed lower down and does not align with existing hole on the case. Original pendulum ball. Nice green label inside. Frosted tablet is missing.
