E. Terry & Sons pillar & scroll, 1823-1831.  Eli Terry with his sons Eli Jr. and Henry; Junior left in 1831 and the business continued as E. Terry & Son until Eli retired in 1833.  This 31-inch pillar & scroll is in good shape with a replaced dial glass and repainted tablet on the original glass.  The scroll tips and feet have been repaired; the finials are heavy brass with metal posts.  The dial has been professionally touched up to hide “stretch marks”.  Part of the ivory escutcheon is missing, there is a working latch key.  The wooden 30-hour movement will run for a few minutes and strikes.  There is a good label inside.
