Antique American Clocks
Jonathan Frost wooden works with alarm, 1841.
A 29.5-inch OG-style case with a cornice top, seen
in several examples from this maker.
The mahogany veneer is good, a few chips but nothing serious.
The dial glass is period
and may be original; the mirror is a modern replacement.
Frost appears to have made all his shelf clocks with mirrors.
The dial is clean and bright and there is a period alarm disk in the center; the hands are period.
The movement is a 30-hour
and is running and striking on a wire gong.
I did not test the alarm; it strikes a bell on top of the case.
two period weights and an alarm weight.
A good label that includes the date of manufacture.
As we know, wooden works with
alarms are not common, but something Frost specialized in.
