Chauncey Boardman 30-hour steeple fusee, 1847-1850. A 20-inch sharp gothic with polished mahogany veneer and two period/original glasses, the tablet painting largely lost.  The contoured painted dial looks original and is clean with little flaking; the hands are likely original.  The 30-hour time-and-strike fusee movement is signed and running, striking on the wire gong; it is the movement Boardman patented with Joseph Wells in 1847, as indicated on the movement.  The fusees are wood.  There is most of a blue label inside.  $50–$100.
