Eli Terry, Jun’r, quarter-column & splat, 1831-1835.  This clock lacks a complete label so the name of the firm could be as noted in the title, or it could be Eli Terry, Jr & Co., the latter firm forming after Terry took on partners Blakesley and Goodwin in 1835.  About that time Plymouth, CT started calling itself “Terrysville”, which started to appear on the “& Co.” label.  Since this label says the clock was made in Plymouth, I am assuming that it was made and sold prior to 1835 (there are other similar clocks with the Jun’r label).  The refinished case is 28.5 inches tall with a clean finish, good veneer, and a carved fruit basket splat; most of Terry’s clocks like this had a flat, bronzed splat and bronze-stenciled columns, so it is possible that the carved splat is a replacement, and the bronzing has been removed from the quarter-columns.  The dial glass is original, the lower glass is modern with an unusual tablet.  There are some losses to the peacock tablet already, and I think it is ready for replacement with something more period-appropriate.  The wooden dial is clean with strong numbering, but some degradation of undefined origin near the center of the dial.  The hands are period-appropriate.  The 30-hour time-and-strike wooden movement is clean and will run for a short while and will strike on the iron bell.  There are two period weights, a partial and stained label, and an old pendulum bob and crank.  $150–$250.
