T.S. Sperry miniature iron-front, ca. 1854. There were numerous ‘Sperrys’ involved in clock sales in New York City in the mid-1800’s; this is Timothy Sheldon. This is the first clock I have seen with his label; clocks from his brother Henry are most commonly encountered. The iron-front is 14 inches tall with good retention of color and, notably, the painting on the MOP flowers in the middle. The dial glass is old, the porthole glass newer; the painted dial has been touched up and the hands are appropriate replacements. The small 30-hour, time-only movement is running with a new pendulum bob. There is a good label inside. There are two TS Sperry clocks on LiveAuctioneers and two on the Antique Clocks Identification and Price Guide. $50–$125. Viewing on a smart phone? Turn it sideways!
