David Dutton bevel-front shelf clock, 1830-1840. Mr. Dutton worked out of Mont Vernon, NH making wooden works shelf clocks in a simple style, often with a lower glass mirror and beveled fronts. There are about a dozen sales on LiveAuctioneers. This mahogany case is just over 26 inches tall in a very old and crusty finish. There is probably the original finish underneath. The dial glass is old, possibly original, while the mirror is a twentieth century replacement. The small wooden dial is simple and clean with period hands that are a bit too long. The 30-hour, time-and-strike wooden movement runs briefly and will strike on the wire gong. There are two 30-hour weights, an old pendulum bob and a good label. $50–$100.
