Elisha Manross gallery clock, 1843-1850.  This is a rare gallery clock from Elisha Manross in outstanding condition.  The mahogany case is 15 inches in diameter with a great finish.  The glass is period if not original. The wooden dial has been touched up at the bottom but is very clean with little wear.  Note the “east-west” brass movement with the inverted escapement and the encased brass spring.  Also note the key cutouts in the brass plate; regrettably, I do not have the matching key.  There is an excellent label inside.  The clock will run for a little while and then stop; I’m not sure if it is 8 day or 30 hour, as there is little room for the brass spring to expand inside the shell.  $250-$500.
