Antique American Clocks
English fusee bracket clock, ca. 1830.  This is probably a Ballard
clock based on the movement and similar clocks online.  The dial has been repainted and no maker/marketer/location was added;
the dial glass appears to be original.  The 20-inch case, veneered in mahogany, has carved leaves across the arched top
and inlaid brass across the bottom and both side half-columns.  Hoop handles on both sides and two side glasses and a glass
in the rear door to view the unsigned early 1800's (note the movement pillars) brass double-fusee movement.  There is a
heavy pendulum and a steel bell; the clock is running and striking, but a bit out of plumb.  There are keys for the rear
door and the sash; it sits on four brass ball feet that allow leveling.  There are some cracks and repairs to the 190-year-old
veneer on the top and right side. This is a high-quality early English bracket clock.  $750-$1200.
