Note: we believe the case may (?) be assembled incorrectly, as the front glass slides up and out; we feel the front glass should be fixed and the rear brass panel should carry the beveled molding and slide out.

621. C.1845, Elisha Manross, Forestville, Conn, good 8-day OOG. This is a nice original clock with original finish, dial, hands, mirror and label [with tears]. Even retains old zinc dust covers over pulleys. I think just about anyone would enjoy this OG; ht 29" $150-250
622. c.1840, Smith & Bros, 7.5 Bowrey, New York, a neat early 30 hour wooden works OG. The tablet has been crudely restored [looks OK from a distance] and the case with veneer repairs along the perimeter molding. Best part is a super label with an image of Smith Bros establishment. Anyone liking NY labels would like this; not tall, extra deep case; ht 28" $150-200
623. C.1845, H. Welton [at the Old Stand of Eli Terry], 30 hour OG with brass movement. Note large dimension of case: height = 28.5" and depth 5". Has good wooden dial with raised gilt corners, brass Maltese hands [now black] and a good full label [with some stains]. Original finish with nice crazed patina. Orig wavy mirror. Another collectible OG. $175-225
624. C.1890, Wm. L. Gilbert, walnut gingerbread in excellent original condition. This clock came out of a kitchen in East Hampstead, and is very nice. All of the Eastlake carving is intact, tablet with some wear, dial a little dark. 8-day T/S/Alarm movement is clean and running. Ready to enjoy; ht 19" $150-200
