E.O. Goodwin miniature Empire, 1851-1855.  Goodwin made the cases and is best known for this model; he bought movements from Brewster & Ingraham, as found here.  Note that the ribbed movement has two brass springs. It is signed and running and striking.  The 20.5-inch case is outstanding, the dial glass is a modern replacement (cracked in upper right corner), the mirror original/period and badly spotted, and the lower glass is old; as documented in Paul Henion’s article on lithographs used in clocks (NAWCC Bulletin from January of this year) this is an image of the McLean Asylum in Somerville MA, attributed to Asa Warren from 1853.  The contoured dial is new; the hands period.  A good green label inside.  These clocks bring $300-$500 when in good condition like this.
