S.B. Terry wall regulator, ca. 1850. A
second example of this late SB Terry model; note that this example does not have a seconds bit. The 32.5-inch case is veneered
in rosewood except on the wooden bezel, where the veneer has been lost. The slant-base is a replacement (the original was probably
broken out by a weight fall). The dial glass looks to be twentieth century, the lower glass period with a restored tablet. The metal dial is faded and may not be original to this clock, as there are duplicate screw holes. The hands are appropriate,
with a replaced minute hand. The rectangular 8-day, time-only, weight-driven movement is unsigned, as was typical. It
is running, driven by a cast iron weight and regulated by a period pendulum. The sliding wooden weight shield, which would have
had a Terry label, has been lost. $350–$600.
