Norris North long drop shelf clock,  1822-1824. An extensively restored clock that looks great.  The height is 32 inches with the modern pineapple finials; the splat and half-columns have been repainted and re-bronzed.  The dial glass is modern, the lower glass is too, with a tablet by Mr. Moberg.  The mahogany veneer is clean and complete.  The dial is original, with penciled owners/repairs as early as 1842.  It is clean, the hands are period.  The Torrington east-west movement will not run more than a couple of beats, it will strike on an iron bell.  There are two period weights and an embossed pendulum bob, and a good label inside.  Not for the purist, but not to be disregarded either, as there are only two other examples like this that I can find, with the last sale in 2017 at R.O. Schmitt’s for $1000.  $200–$400.
