Smith & Goodrich 30-hour fusee steeple, 1847-1852.  A 20-inch sharp gothic in a beautiful rosewood and mahogany case with two likely original glasses and a very well-preserved Fenn tablet.  The contoured metal dial holds the original paint, touched up professionally at the winding ports and screw holes, and bears the original signature of Smith & Goodrich, Bristol CT.  The hands are period.  The 30-hour brass time-and-strike fusee movement is unsigned, with the fusees mounted on a cast iron bracket immediately below the movement.  The fusees are wood, with steel springs.   It is running and striking, the strike being a bit noisy.  There is a good label behind plastic. This is a nice example.  $150–$300.
