240.    $100

L. & F. Andrews shelf clock, 1836-1843.  A 24.25-inch case veneered in mahogany with a full-length door.  The rounded front and style suggests the OG case which was becoming popular at this time.  There is a piece of veneer missing from the crosspiece on the door and some repairs on the lower left.  Both glasses are old, the tablet likely original and not one I’ve seen before.  The painted dial is heavy zinc, dirty and faded, but again likely original.  The 30-hour weight-driven, time-and-strike movement is not signed; it will only run for a short while.  Good label inside, with two old weights. Door handle is a replacement.  $100-$250.
