Antique American Clocks
L.F. & W.W. Carter weight-driven calendar, 1862-1868.
A 31-inch case veneered in rosewood
with a rough finish from multiple varnishes.
This is a Carter case, as the case edges are flat rather than rounded, as found
on the Lewis Calendar No. 2 case.
Both glasses are old and both dials are original; the time dial shows considerable paint or
varnish splatter, as well as some chipping.
The calendar dial is chipping badly.
All hands are correct.
The two-weight,
time-only movement is unsigned and unwilling to run for more than a minute or two.
There are two brass shell weights that should
be sufficient but are not original, as this clock came with round iron weights (see #87).
The B.B. Lewis calendar mechanism
in the door retains its cover and label and is working.
A very original clock.
