Antique American Clocks January 2021
202. $150
American Clock Co. paper mâché shelf clock, 1850-1879. A 16.5-inch all wood paper mâché clock with
extensive mother-of-pearl (MOP) chips and pieces on the front. I can find only one missing chip of MOP; the gold stenciling
remains bright. The dial has been repainted, the hands correct to style but the minute hand a bit too long. Both glasses
are old. The movement is unsigned, running 8 days with time-and-strike on a wire gong. There are remains of a label inside,
enough to establish the maker and location, No. 25 John St, NY. A very nice example. $150-$250.
