Beach & Byington thirty-hour triple fusee steeple, ca. 1840.  A 19.5-inch case with beautiful mahogany or rosewood veneer and a fine furniture finish.  Note that the cone finial tips are damaged.  Both glasses are likely original, the lower glass a lithograph transfer of a romantic image of the overgrown ruins of a gothic cathedral with a couple and a child standing in front.  I believe the dial has been repainted and varnished to give it an antique look; the hands are appropriate.  The 30-hour time-and-strike fusee movement is unsigned and includes an alarm.  The springs are enclosed in the wood box behind the fusees; note that the alarm has a winding spool but is not a fusee barrel.  There is a good green label behind plastic on the back wall, noting the location as Terryville CT. Lawyer Byington was a clock peddler and a casemaker, and better known for wooden works clocks and later OGs; he was from Bristol CT (not far from Terryville), but for most of his life lived in Newark, NY, west of Syracuse, a long way from Terryville. 

There are several contemporaneous Beaches listed in Clockmakers & Watchmakers of America (Spittlers, Bailey), but the most likely candidate would appear to be Nathan Beach, who was a dial painter living in Plymouth CT (next door to Terryville).  It is quite possible that neither of these characters are the makers of this clock, and no first names or initials are provided on the label.  This is the only Beach & Byington clock I can find on LiveAuctioneers or in the Antique Clocks Identification and Price Guide; this exact clock sold at R.O. Schmitt in 2017 for $650.  $450–$650.
