Eli Terry, Jr. & Co. “Eight-day clock”, 1835-1841.  In 1835 Terry took on partners Milo Blakesley and Warren Goodwin (“& Co.”); Terry died in 1841 of consumption (tuberculosis) at the age of 41, ending the partnership.  Although the label here is partial, it matches complete labels from clocks made by this firm (see here).  The 36-inch case is veneered in mahogany, except the cornice piece, which I believe has lost its veneer. There are two full columns and the finish is very clean.  The three glasses are replacements, the dial glass modern, the middle glass old but the tablet may have been repainted, and the mirror appears to be twentieth century. The wooden dial is clean and without damage other than some loss to the chapter gilding, the hands are period.  The Type 5.111 wooden 8-day, time-and-strike movement is running without difficulty and striking on the cast iron bell behind the middle glass, driven by two compounded 11-lb replacement weights, suspended on wooden pulleys.  As noted, a partial, dark label.  This is not a common model, as I could find only two sales records for this model with a wooden movement over last 22 years.  AAC sold a similar example in 2022 for $600.  $450-$600.
