Catalog Description:

C.1835, R. and J.B. Terry (Samuel's sons), 8-day weight driven shelf clock. The three deck case has full round mahogany columns spanning two decks. The case was stripped and never properly finished, and the two tablets are both new and improper. The veneer is still in good shape. This is an uncommon clock, the company having been in business for less than 2 years, and this unusual rack and snail movement with square teeth on the wheels was unique to these boys and of interest to the Bristol horologist. Note also the outboard weight driven alarm movement that mounts under the seatboard, and for which a hole is provided in the dial. The wooden dial plate is original, but has been crudely papered over with a home-made dial and varnished. Alarm disc is missing. The time and strike weights are proper, the alarm weight is new and improper. Height 37" Reserve $325
