Manross, Wilcox & Co. 30-hour OG, 1840.  This firm only lasted one year and then reformed as Manross Prichard & Co. until 1843.  Both firms made 30-hour brass movement OG’s.  There are no clocks in the Antique Clocks Price Guide listed under Manross Wilcox and only two listed under Manross Prichard.  This is an early brass movement OG, 26 inches tall with an unsigned 30-hour weight-driven movement.  At this time brass dials were popular; this one has been repainted. The gesso front has been repainted as well, and most have; I imagine the original finish did not hold up well.  I think the hands are from a slightly later period; both glasses have been repainted but may be original.  The mahogany veneer is fully intact. The time-and-strike movement is running, driven by two old weights; I replaced the pendulum rod and bob and the length may need to be adjusted.  Good label inside.  $125-$175.
