Atkins “Parlor No. 1” with wagon spring, 1850-1858. Probably
made by Atkins, Whiting & Co. The architecturally interesting case is 17.5 inches tall, veneered in rosewood with no chips
to be seen and a great finish; note the ivory door handles. The dial glass is period and typical, with the dial surround in
good condition; the lower mirror is likely original and in good condition. The metal dial was repainted by The Dial House, the
hands are proper replacements although the hour hand is a bit too long. The 30-day round movement is clean and running, driven
by the lever-spring (wagon spring) movement in the base. The pendulum stick is original; there is part of a label on the back. AAC sold one in 2020 for $1977 and one in 2021 for $1751. $1500–$2000.
