John Hunt (Farmington,
CT) 30-hour wooden works OG, ca. 1830-1840. Not a prolific producer of clocks, but you can find some on LiveAuctioneers. You can find a John Hunt oversized steeple in this auction. This OG case is 28.5 inches tall; the mahogany veneer shows some
repairs, chips, and losses. The dial glass is original; the mirror is a modern replacement with an old backboard. The
wooden dial is soiled, the hands are likely original. The 30-hour wooden movement was probably purchased, as Hunt was considered
a cabinet maker; it is running and striking, driven by two 30-hour weights. There is a wire gong and a good label inside. Hunt also worked in Plainville. $50–$150.
