Smith & Brothers 30-hour OG, ca. 1841. A 28-inch OG case with flame mahogany on the front and a clean finish; the eye-catcher here is the tablet bearing the New Jersey state seal, remarkably well preserved. As best I can tell Smith is Levi Smith, who worked with Blakesley in Bristol CT and had two brothers, Ransom and Andrew B. All three were associated with a retail store in the Bowery of New York; the building, which still stands, is depicted on the label. There are several business names associated with them: Smith Bros. Clock Establishment; Smith & Brother; and Smith & Brothers (as found here). Both glasses are original, the simple wooden dial is soiled but has no losses, and the hands are period/original. The 30-hour time-and-strike brass movement is unsigned; it is running and striking on a wire gong, driven by two 30-hour weights. A very nice label inside. This clock comes with a Smith Bros token. $100–$250.
