Antique American Clocks July 2021
124. $250
Mitchell & Atkins carved column & splat shelf clock, 1831-1835. Mitchell was the marketer,
Rollin and Irenus made the cases and movements. This is a nice example of a better-quality shelf clock with carved columns and
crest; the case is 27 inches tall to the top of the crest. Both glasses are original, as is the tablet; the crest may be a newer
replacement. The pineapple finials look old to me. The wooden dial is nicely decorated and still bright, with proper hands. The 30-hour time-and-strike wood movement does not run or strike. A good label inside, two old iron weights, and one tin pulley
cap. $250-$500.
