Description

American Clock Co. 30-hour steeple, 1850-1879. The ACC was a retailer in New York City on Cortland St, along with other clock retailers, all of whom purchased their merchandise from Connecticut clockmakers. This 20-inch sharp gothic has rosewood veneer on the front and mahogany veneer on the sides; the left finial tip is broken off. Both glasses are period/original with the decalcomania tablet well preserved. The painted dial is in good shape, the hands period. The 30-hour time-and-strike movement is unsigned; it will run with some adjustment and strikes the iron bell. The pendulum rod needs to be twisted to get the pendulum bob to hang properly. There is a good label inside. $50–$100.
