Terry & Andrews double steeple, 1842-1850. Simple double steeples like this are not uncommon, with 14 sales listed on LiveAuctioneers.  The 29-inch case is veneered in mahogany, with burled mahogany at the bottom.  The finish is clean but needs polish in places; there is a layer of patina on the top surfaces.  The three glasses are old, the tablet in the bottom glass appears to be original, in very good shape; the middle tablet was redone by Tom Moberg.  The contoured metal dial holds old paint with proper period hands.  The 8-day, time-and-strike brass movement is die-stamped with the makers and Bristol, CT.  It is running and striking on the wire gong without difficulty.  There is an embossed T&A pendulum bob, but no label, and a remote alarm that is hooked up but untested. The matching Fenn tablets are very nice here.  $400–$700.
