H. Hart & Son column & splat shelf clock, ca. 1835.  Henry Hart worked out of Goshen, CT for only a brief time before moving to Illinois.  There is one Hart & Son clock listed in the Antique Clocks Price Guide and two listed under H. Hart by himself; all are stenciled column and splat clocks, as found here.  The lower glass is an old replaced mirror; the dial glass is also an old replacement with old glass.  The stenciling is original, as is the splat which has been broken and repaired.  The wooden dial is clean but plain; there are claw feet in front (missing toe on the right) and replacement turned back feet.  The cleaned 30-hour wooden movement is running and striking but there are no weights; weights that will work in this clock are listed in Parts, item 908.  Label has some losses but the important stuff is there.  $100-$150.
