Description
Daniel Pratt, Jr. shelf alarm, 1835-1839. A 28-inch case with a 30-hour, time, strike and alarm wooden movement. The case is veneered in mahogany including the splat, in excellent condition. Note the OG-form side trim. The dial glass is likely original, the mirror likely an old replacement. The wooden dial is clean and bright, the hands period. The wooden movement has a replaced strike gear, it will strike but the time side is stuck. This is a Villet restoration, and so I am sure it will run with some coaxing. The alarm was not tested. Three proper weights and a good paper label. $150-$300.
