Antique American Clocks January 2022
7. $600
Eli Terry, Jr. Eight-day brass clock, ca. 1835. The 37-inch case is veneered
in flame mahogany with veneered middle and lower tablets and false tortoise-shell full columns. The door glass is a replacement;
the dial has been touched up extensively and the center hole repositioned, indicating that this is not the original dial. The
unsigned arch-top brass, 8-day movement is attributed to Silas B Terry and has Babbitt metal pinions characteristic of Terry at this
time. It is running and striking on a wire gong, driven by 8-lb weights. There is a period pendulum bob and hands. There are dual pulleys on top and it appears that there was a full dust cover at one time. A good label inside. AAC sold
a similar example in January 2021 for $880. $600-$1000.
