E. & G.W. Bartholomew 30-hour shelf clock, 1829-1833.  I found a few examples of this column & cornice style of shelf clock by these guys, but they are not common.  The case is 24.5 inches tall and 15.5 inches wide with restenciled columns that look good; the finish on the mahogany veneer is a little bit crusty.  The dial glass is original, the lower glass a replacement with the tablet done by Lee Davis.  Very nice.  The wood dial board is clean but faded, with the numbers strengthened; the hands are period. The 30-hour time-and-strike wooden movement is running and striking on a wire gong, with two period weights and a good label. No recent sales of this uncommon model.  $150–$300.
