Elisha Manross gallery clock, 1843-1850.
This is a rare gallery clock from Elisha Manross
in outstanding condition.
The mahogany case is 15 inches in diameter with a great finish.
The glass is period if not original.
The wooden dial has been touched up at the bottom but is very clean with little wear.
Note the "east-west" brass movement with
the inverted escapement and the encased brass spring.
Also note the key cutouts in the brass plate; regrettably, I do not have
the matching key.
There is an excellent label inside.
The clock will run for a little while and then stop; I'm not sure
if it is 8 day or 30 hour, as there is little room for the brass spring to expand inside the shell.
