Smith & Goodrich miniature OG fusee alarm, 1847-1852.  A 19-inch OG (actually, an OOG) case with walnut veneer and burl walnut on the front, all in excellent condition with a great finish.  The dial glass is a replacement, the lower glass period with an interesting eagle and star stencil.  The painted metal dial is original, clean, with some fading. The hands are original and the hour hand has a diametric pointer for the alarm setting.  The 30-hour time, strike, and alarm triple fusee movement is unsigned.  It is running and striking on the wire gong; the alarm was not tested.  The alarm winds on a small fusee spool from the lower arbor; I think it is interesting that even the alarm has a fusee.  I guess they wanted a steady ring.  There is a beat-up paper label inside with enough information to reveal the makers.  S&G made OG cases in three sizes, 15, 19, and 26 inches; most of the examples you see are the 15-inch sub-miniature OG, which typically contains a fusee time-and-strike movement.  This 19-inch OG (OOG) is less common; I can only find a couple of examples, and none contain a triple fusee (time, strike, and alarm) movement.  I can find no recent sales of the 19-inch OG in any conformation.  $200-$400.
