Antique American Clocks
Elisha Manross double steeple fusee, 1843-1853.
A case-on-case steeple with a fusee movement.
The 23.5-inch case is veneered with mahogany and what I think is matched grain painting on the curved framing and cone finial blocks.
The glasses are old and the decalcomania tablets outstanding; I think both have been touched up extensively, or are reproductions.
The painted dial is old and clean, with some chipping; the hands are period and appropriate.
The strap-brass movement is unsigned;
it should run 8 days with time-and-strike, fusee-regulated.
Unfortunately, I can't persuade it to run for more than a minute
There is a good dark green label inside.
These clocks typically sell for $400-$500.
