225.    $150

Boardman & Wells steeple fusee, 1832-1843.  A second example, 19.75 inches tall with walnut veneer in excellent condition.  Both glasses are period, the tablet period with modest losses.  The contoured metal dial may be an old repaint, the hands are new.  The signed (C. Boardman) 30-hour time-and-strike fusee movement is running and striking. A good label inside listing “C. Boardman, also by J.A. Wells”, as the manufacturers.  Not sure what is implied there.  A second nice example of their work.  $150-$250.
