Catalog Description:

C.1826, E. Terry and Sons, Plymouth, Conn, later style "Box" clock with "window shade" alarm, as-found. This clock is from the collection of Haddon Kirk, and it is my opinion that whomever he acquired this clock from in 1957, had assembled it from parts. First off, the movement is a Samuel Terry, modified to accept the alarm levers; dial appears to go with the movement, as it is painted a bit low for this case layout; having said that, it has great gilt pineapple corners and red and green leaf trim inside minute markers. The window shade alarm is original to the case and is intact; label is a bit dark but legible. For reference, see Ken Roberts' book on Eli Terry, page 76, figures 23a+b, also see Distin and Bishop, figure 228. Estimate reflects the value of the rare parts. Height 22 1/2"
