C.1828, Henry Sperry, New York, NY, early short case 30-hour wood movement shelf clock with overpasted label of Henry Sperry, 204 Bowery . The case is unusually early using a basic pillar and scroll box, but added paw feet and splat and two flat surfaces (instead of pillar and scroll columns) to which half columns have been applied. Door has been largely reveneered and pressed key escutcheon is missing. Faint stenciling remains on the splat which has been reshaped, but a long time ago. Dial is period, but has been repainted. Tablet is fair repaint. Movement needs repairs on escape bridge, some bushings and four missing teeth on time great wheel. There are other tooth and pinion repairs that could be improved. Hands are period, though repaired hour hand is too small. Nice period pendulum bob. Height 263/4"
