Three S.B. Terry-style
miniature box clocks, ca. 1852. There are no labels in these clocks and the 1-day movements are unmarked, but they closely resemble
clocks made by the S.B. Terry & Co. firm between 1852 and 1853. Each is just over 11 inches tall. The first has walnut
or mahogany veneer on the front, under an old finish; the middle clock appears to have lost its veneer, and the third on the right
appears to be a remade case. The glasses on the first two are likely original, with wear to the original tablets. The
first has a badly corroded metal dial, original to the clock, the middle clock has a wooden dial, and the third clock has a modern
wood dial with a paper overlay. The hands are period on the first clock, a mixed improper set on the middle clock, and not proper
on the third. The 1-day movements are not signed and the first two include an alarm. All three are running, the alarms
untested. All three for one money. $25–$150.
