Antique American Clocks January 2021
169. $100
Terry & Andrews gilt cottage, 1842-1850. Bristol’s largest manufacturer of clocks in this period,
making 30,000-40,000 clocks per year. This 15.5-inch tall case in rosewood veneer was used by a variety of makers including
J.C. Brown, also in Bristol. Much of the gilt case decoration has worn off and the dial surround and lower tablet show considerable
losses. The painted dial is likely original; the hands period, with the minute hand taped together. The 8-day time-and-strike
movement is signed and running but the strike is sticking. Note the brass springs. There is a good label inside. $100-$250.
