Silas B Terry painted cottage, 1852-1853.  A simple pine clock with a ladder movement, likely made about 1852 before he formed the Terryville Manufacturing Co. in 1853.  The 10.5-inch-tall case retains the original painted paper surface and both original glasses, the painted dial and brass hands.   The unsigned 30-hour ladder movement with the spring on the back is running, there is a very old and possibly original pendulum bob, and a great label.  You can find only a couple of other examples that have sold, the best example being one sold at Skinner in 2011 for $1000.  $1000-$1500.
