R. W. Patterson & Co. Eight Day Brass Clock, ca. 1870.  The label says “Toronto, Canada West” but there is no information on this firm inClockmakers and Watchmakers of America by Name and Place, Spittlers & Bailey, 2011.  The case and the movement closely resemble a Seth Thomas Column Large, although the 8-day time-and-strike movement is unsigned; I would guess Seth Thomas provided the case and movement to this Canadian company.  The two glasses and mirror are likely original; the original tablet is an image of the British Royal Coat of Arms, appropriate for a Canadian clock.  The contoured metal dial holds the original paint in good condition, the hands are period and proper.  There is one proper 8-day weight and one home-made one; there is a good label on the back wall. R.O. Schmitt sold a similar example in 2017 for $425; it is the only triple decker sales record, and there is one column and cornice sale as well.  $250–$450.
