Mark Leavenworth & Son pillar & scroll, 1825-1829.  The Leavenworths worked out of Waterbury making exclusively wooden works clocks.  Their clocks are highly sought after.  This is a standard P&S in excellent condition, 28.5 inches to the scroll-tip.  As best I can tell the case is all original, while the glasses have been replaced; the tablet is a beautiful painting by Tom Moberg.  I think this is a keeper just for the tablet.  There is an attractive and clean wood dial, the hands are period.  There is a good label inside, two old 30-hour weights and an old pendulum bob; the brass urn finials are on wooden sticks and are hollow.  Like all of this collector’s wooden works clocks, it is running and striking.  Horton’s sold a similar Leavenworth & Son in 2017 for $600.  $400-$600.
