Shelf Ogee
Terry Clock Co. One day reversed ogee, shelf clock, ca 1873.
30 hour, time and strike with original horseshoe shaped movement signed by the maker, spring driven. Excellent label in the 18 inches rosewood veneer case, old zinc dial with original paint. Minor flaking around the arbors and corner screws, some numerals have been highlighted. Two old glasses. The bottom glass is a period glass, a small amount of paint loss, may or may not be original to the clock because the wood strips are not factory. As you know that may not mean a thing. The veneer is very good except a small piece on the side of the top board, and some peeling on the base.

Ansonia Clock Co. "O.G. Weight", ca 1880's.
One day weight clock is running and striking a coil gong each hour. The full backboard label shows the New York City address that Ansonia used to retail many of their clocks. This clock is of interest to Kentucky collectors because of a small inside label indicating it was probably sold by a Monticello, Kentucky dealer. 26 inches walnut veneer case is solid, veneer is tight with a minimum of tiny nicks. 8 inches zinc dial is slightly faded but very clean. Period weights and pendulum. The glasses look to be original, the bottom scraped of what paint was left. Ly-Ansonia, page 431.
