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.
