Silas Hoadley miniature timepiece with alarm, 1830.  These miniature (25 inch) time and alarm clocks are highly valued.  The 30-hour, weight-driven wooden movement is a Hoadley design and substitutes an alarm for the usual hour strike.  On this clock the alarm hand is missing.  There are three-quarter columns on the front sides and quarter-columns in back; these columns have been repainted and re-bronzed.  The eagle splat is also a non-period replacement, as is the dial.  And, for that matter, so is the tablet, a nice patriotic tablet taken from a later clock.  It is cracked across the middle and in the upper right corner.  On the positive side, the dial glass is likely original, the movement is original and is running (alarm not tested), and there is a decent label inside.  The weight has been modified, the claw feet are likely original, the rear feet not so likely; the pineapple finials are missing.  When in good condition these clocks sell easily for over $1000.  $250-$750.
