Catalog Description:

C.1835, Unknown 8-day New Hampshire mirror timepiece with restoration and additions. The rear case is simply made of pine, and does not appear to be as old as the movement and door. The mirror frame was painted by a later owner with brown paint and the gilt areas have been painted with gold paint (is leaf under the gold paint) The upper tablet is done on old glass and appears to have been in the case a long time, but is crudely done. The mirror is old and puttied in place. The movement has rectangular plates (like a banjo movement) with an unusual verge removal port in the front plate. The dial is all new; as are the blocks which hold it. Seems to run briskly. Lots of "look" for the money. The movement set up alone should be worth our estimate. Height 30.5 inches
