Riley Whiting carved column & splat shelf clock, 1828-1835.  A 30-inch case with original carved half-columns, crest, and pineapple finials, and most notably, an original tablet which has been touched up and rebacked. The dial glass is old but a replacement, and not yet puttied in.  The wooden dial is nicely decorated but may -possibly- be a substitution.  I did not test the wooden 30-hour movement as it lacks a pendulum rod (an easy fix).  There is a good label inside and two old iron weights.  A nice example, especially for the unique tablet.  $250-$400.
