43.      $325

Eli Terry & Sons pillar & scroll, 1823-1831.  Eli with Eli Jr. and Henry; Eli Jr. left and formed his own company in 1831.   Lots of pillar and scrolls from this group.  Some veneer repairs noticeable on the door crosspiece, and some chips on the upper left; the scroll piece at the top may be a replacement.  The brass urn finials are solid and held in place with wooden pegs.  Both glasses are old; the tablet repainted but unsigned.  Good label inside, and the 30-hour wooden movement is running (this collector insisted that his wooden works clocks run).  Horton’s has been selling P&S clocks with repainted tablets for $400-$600 lately.   $350-$500.
