Terry Clock Co. iron case clock, 1867-1880. This clock model came in three sizes; this is the middle size, 8.75 inches tall.  The iron case was painted and decorated, as you can see, but most of the paint has worn off to rust.  This is why most of these clocks have been repainted, a shame, as the decorations are quite nice.  The dial glass is old, the brass bezel polished to copper.  The paper dial is darkened, the hands are period and correct.  Remarkably, the 8-day, time-and-strike movement is running and striking.  Indeed, I have never picked up one of these clocks that wasn’t running; if these aren’t the most durable clocks ever made, please let me know your candidate.  There is a torn label on the back.  $25–$100.
