Samuel Terry pillar & scroll, 1819-1827.  A second example by Eli’s brother, but there is an important difference here – this one shows Samuel working in Plymouth under his own name before moving to Bristol (compare the labels between this clock and #2).  In fact, Samuel had set up his own shop in Plymouth in 1819 and was making some clocks outside of his partnership with his older brother. The 31-inch case has an old finish with some patina; the brass urn finials are on wooden posts, the scroll-top is undamaged, and the feet and skirt look original.  Both glasses are original with the original putty; the tablet has suffered considerable losses. The wooden dial is clean with good gilding in the corners and a gilded inner ring.  The hands are typical for Samuel Terry. The wooden 30-hour time-and-strike movement doesn’t want to run but it will strike; there are two period weights, period pendulum bob, and a good Plymouth label inside.  A very original example.  AAC sold a similar example in 2022 for $801.  $400–$600.

Can I return my clock if I don’t like it?

You betcha!  Save your packing and box, you have 30 days from receipt to return it for a full refund if you are unhappy.  If the clock is not as described, or I missed something important and that is not evident from the pictures, I will refund your shipping costs (both ways) as well.  Find another auction company that does that!
