William S. Johnson ripple-front cottage, 1841-1861.  Johnson was a retailer in New York city and bought clocks from many makers.  The 8-day, time-and-strike movement in this clock is not signed.  The 16-inch case is veneered in rosewood with ripple trim.  The veneer is in perfect condition with a beautiful patina.  The mirror is probably original, the dial glass almost certainly original.  The contoured metal dial is likely original with the original paint; the hands are period-correct.  It is running and striking on the wire gong; there is a readable label inside.  Just about perfect.  $250-$400.
