Beach & Byington 30-hour fusee round gothic, ca. 1840. This is only the second clock I can find by this duo; there is only one listing on LiveAuctioneers or the Antique Clocks Identification
and Price Guide, for a B&B fusee steeple with an alarm, which AAC later sold in 2023 for $450. The 19-inch case has a very
light but polished finish, and I am not sure it hasn’t lost its veneer. If not, it would appear to be an ash case, or possibly
oak. The dial glass is original, the lower glass a modern replacement with a proper period tablet. The contoured metal
dial is clean with little chipping and is probably original, as are the hands. The 30-hour, double-fusee movement is unsigned,
the fusee spools are wood. It is running and striking on a wire gong. There is a good label inside. One of two known
clocks by this pairing from Terryville, CT. $100–$450.
