185.              $50

Henry C. Smith 30-hour OG, 1833-1845. A 26.5-inch OG case with good flame mahogany veneer, two original glasses, and an original tablet that has been touched up. A penciled repair note on the back of the tablet from 1876 testifies to its originality.  The wood dial is clean, the hands proper and period.  The unsigned 8-day, weight-driven, time-and-strike movement was not tested as the weight cords need to be replaced. Two period weights are included and an old embossed pendulum bob.  The label on the backwall has some losses but the maker’s name can be determined.  $50–$100.
