Isaac Packard long drop shelf clock, ca. 1830. Isaac Packard worked out of North Bridgewater, MA, sometimes in partnership with Rodney Brace, both of whom used Torrington-style horizontal wooden movements (and also Terry-style movements). Packard favored long-drop cases like this one, 31 inches tall with good mahogany veneer all around. Notable here is the lovely original tablet, probably restored, and in excellent condition. The half-columns have been repainted and rebronzed, the splat is bright but may be period. Both glasses appear to be original. The wooden dial was restored by Kathi Edwards (The Dial House), the hands are period/original. The 30-hour, time-and-strike Torrington movement is running but not striking, driven by two small, 3-lb square weights. There is a good label inside. AAC sold a similar example a year ago for $750. $500–$800.
