Antique American Clocks
Sperry & Shaw fusee shelf clock, 1844-1851.
A second grain-painted shelf clock in
the same style case, 20.5 inches tall, with a fusee movement and marketed out of New York.
Here both glasses are old and likely
original, the tablet beautifully preserved.
The painted dial is signed and has a nice patina, the hands are period and likely
The time-and-strike fusee movement is unsigned, and I assume it runs 1 day; It is running and striking as expected.
The label is tattered; there is an embossed pendulum bob.
Again a rare clock for which I can find no sales records.
