Antique American Clocks January 2021
36. $150
Solomon Stow early shelf clock, 1828-1834. A 35-inch rejuvenated mahogany case with just
a couple of veneer chips/repairs. The columns have been repainted, the splat possibly replaced, possibly stripped, or possibly
as originally intended. The dial glass is original with original putty, the spectacular lower glass repainted by Lee Davis. Note the dial with the decoration (touched-up) below the mainstem; this is seen on other Stow clocks, as well as Eli Terry clocks. The long case holds a short-drop 30-hour wooden movement that is running and striking, driven by two old weights. There is a
good label inside. Stow clocks are not common; only one in the Antique Clocks Price Guide and four on LiveAuctioneers, none
in this style. $150-$300.
