Early American Clocks - #94
Early American Clocks
Spencer, Hotchkiss & Co. triple decker, 1829-1833.
This group manufactured clocks
in Salem Bridge (now Naugatuck) CT with distinctive brass movements; this one is an 8-day time-and-strike repeater.
style is one of several used by this group, and I can find several similar examples in the Antique Clocks Price Guide.
33.5-inch case has undergone significant restoration including painting/gilding the gesso crest, column capitols and feet; repainting
the columns, three new glasses with new period images.
The wooden dial is clean, the hands correct (except the seconds hand).
The brass movement is running and striking; the time cord is frayed and needs to be replaced to prevent trouble.
There are square
8-day iron weights and a varnished label inside.
As this is an early clock (pre-1835), restoration is hard to avoid.
least it looks good!
Horton's sold this clock two years ago for $1600.
$600-$1200.
