Catalog Description:

C.1810, New Hampshire tall clock with an 8-day wood plate movement with brass and steel gears, unsigned, but attributed to Abijah Gould of Hollis, New Hampshire. Original steel hands with the minute hand having an extension added. Original painted dial with the numerals strengthened, and some loss along the right margin. Movement is original to the case, but sets a little high on replaced seat board. The case is cherry, New Hampshire style, with a base that has been reconstructed below the base molding and made too short; the bracket base is a still later addition. On the hood, the center plinth is missing and replaced by a large brass finial; the two side finials are also replacements. The hood probably had frets at one time. Cracked rear plate of movement has been reinforced with metal strips. Runs. With proper restoration, this could be a handsome rural New Hampshire clock. Height 83"
