Eli Terry & Sons Wooden Works Transitional Clock 30 Hour T&S Painted Eagle Splat

This is an antique "transitional" wood works clock made by Eli Terry & Sons. It has a standard 30 hour movement, and as far as I can tell, is ALL ORIGINAL. Eli Terry & Sons Wooden Works Transitional Clock 30 Hour T&S Painted Eagle Splat Eli Terry & Sons Wooden Works Transitional Clock 30 Hour T&S Painted Eagle Splat Click images to enlarge Description Heritage Matters WEIGHT DRIVEN TRANSITIONAL CLOCK ELI TERRY & SONS 30 HOUR T&S (ON THE HOUR ONLY) CIRCA 1823 - 1832 This is an antique "Transitional" wood works clock made by Eli Terry & Sons, with an excellent label intact. It has a 30 hour movement, striking on the hour only. The lower glass is a replacement, but appears to be correctly reverse painted, and not screen-printed. It retains it original "tin can" pulley covers--the few times they appear on eBay, they go for a couple of hundred dollars themselves. Rather than the usual splat featuring a cornucopia, this one has an eagle! The paint on that splat, as well as on the columns, appears to be original. The movement is an original Terry-type. The weights, hands, and pendulum bob are all original. It measures approximately 28 X 17 X 5 inches. Old Eli began a partnership with his sons Eli Jr. and Henry about 1823. Junior left the firm in 1828 and Henry in 1832, which ended the company. "Transitional clocks" such as this overlap in production with the Pillar and Scroll clocks designed and first produced by Eli Terry (and also made by several others) and the "Brass Looking Glass Clock," or as it is generally called today, the half-column and splat clock (the movement is often called a "groaner") designed by Jerome about 1828. Most say this type of clock represents a transition from the pillar and scroll style to the column and splat clocks, but I think it is more accurate to think of them of a transition between movement construction. These "Transitional" clocks could use the same movements produced for pillar and scroll clocks, as well as a cabinet with approximately the same dimensions as the P&S. Those made for Jerome's "groaner" movements required a longer case and some degree of re-tooling, at least for the escapement. The transitional clocks also have the same sort of reverse paintings as do the pillar and scroll clocks, but with a different top splat and claw feet, like those often used in Empire style furniture. You know, Eli Whitney gets the credit for mass production and interchangeable parts, receiving a government contract for 10,000 muskets in 1797. However, for the first year, he produced not a single musket. In 1801, he demonstrated the ease of assembling muskets from interchangeable parts for a government committee which included out-going President John Adams and incoming President Thomas Jefferson. However, it turned out the demonstration was a set-up, using predetermined parts. I have even read that Whitney never managed to perfect the technique, and actually subcontracted the muskets out to more traditional arms makers. He did, however, come up with the idea for it, an idea which Eli Terry applied to his wooden works clocks, and put a clock within the financial reach of people who could otherwise have never afforded one! The splat has a crack in it, and it looks like two of its original glue blocks were lost, and a single one at the center was added. There are various small pieces of veneer which have been replaced, and I see at least one area where the veneer has cracked (see photos). On the dial, there is a missing wood chip just to the right of the winding arbor. The movement of this clock was completely disassembled, cleaned, and restrung. There are old repairs to some of the teeth. It is currently working HOWEVER (1) I have read that when produced, the wooden movements were estimated to have a "life expectancy" of about 20 years. We are well beyond that now, by about 180 years, and it is amazing that so many of them are still running! However, you might say they are living on borrowed time, so I cannot guarantee a wood works clocks, especially after it goes through the post office or any other shipper. And (2) I sell all mechanical and electrical devices in AS-IS condition anyway, because parts can become brittle so that any disturbance affects it. Please note: the weights will be shipped separately from the clock, at no additional expense to the buyer. Even so, I find this an AMAZING and beautiful clock!

It wasn’t until the 19th and 20th centuries that clocks evolved at an exceedingly swift rate, resulting in greater accuracy, more refined designs, and more frequent appearances in people’s homes. In both the United States and internationally astrological, tall-case, year-long runners, and skeleton clocks are in demand. “E. Howard and Seth Thomas are two of the bigger names that collectors are seeking out right now, Buyers of antique and vintage clocks today range from collectors who own hundreds of them, to the retail buyers who’ve been looking for the right grandfather clock to display in their living room. “Collectors pay close attention to rarity and condition, For early American clocks, they look for original glass tablets, original painted dials, and the original finish or actual wood case. With European clocks, specialists tend to be a bit more forgiving in terms of condition because it has more to do with the movements and gears. A replaced gear on a European clock, for example, may be more acceptable than a replaced tablet or dial on an American clock. Important 19th-Century Styles By the 19th century, recognizable innovations and styles began to emerge across Europe. In France, for example, clocks were fitted with extravagant cases mirroring trends in interior design, and by 1850 carriage clocks decorated with Limoges enamel, porcelain, and gilt metal were becoming exceedingly popular. Meanwhile, Germany specialized in making affordable brass and wooden clocks, most notably cuckoo clocks, which were made in the Black Forest region and exported across Europe. Skeleton clocks were the characteristic choice for British households, churches, and government buildings, as were clocks decorated with Gothic-inspired cases and architectural elements, exemplified most famously by Big Ben. Antique Vienna and English clocks from 1780 to 1920, the most famous and collectible makers produced clocks between 1700 and 1890. “This was the great era of clockmaking, and a time that sparked lots of novelties and inventions in clock movements and cases. Important 20th-Century Styles Twentieth century clocks typically drew inspiration from earlier styles, although the U.S. made, electrically powered “Eureka” clock is especially indicative of the years leading up to the First World War. The heyday of clock manufacturing took place in the first half of the century, and by the 1950s clocks became increasingly minimalistic in design, reflecting developments in modern art and architecture. Today, clocks are available at a wide range of prices, styles, and sizes, evidencing the long-lived history of these highly valued, sophisticated timekeeping devices High end valuable clocks tend to be handmade, rare, or limited edition pieces made or decorated with precious materials, such as gold, diamonds, rubies, mother of pearl enamel, porcelain, and high-quality wood. Clocks made by important designers, like Abraham Louis Breguet, or reputable manufacturing companies, like Ansonia, are also highly prized as premium collectible pieces. Antique Wall Clocks Wall clocks, which were first made during the 16th and 17th centuries, are among the earliest styles of clocks designed for display within the home. They not only tell time but also serve as sculptural works of art adorning the room. One of the most fashionable styles of antique wall clocks is the Ansonia hanging clock, made by Ansonia Clock Company, which originated in Ansonia, Connecticut in 1851 and moved to Brooklyn, New York in 1878. Ansonia clocks are usually made of a combination of brass and high-quality wood and decorated with ornately executed designs, such as mini-friezes, classicizing figures, and floral and geometric designs inspired by ancient Greek architecture. Bidermeier clocks, made in Germany and Austria between 1815 and 1848, are another popular type of antique wall clock. Produced primarily for a burgeoning middle class knowledgable of the value of furniture and interior design, Bidermeier clocks exhibit simple yet elegant features. One of the main identifying characteristics of this refined style is the juxtaposition between the sleek, straight lines of the clock’s torso and the delicate curves of the baroque and gothic motifs decorating the upper and lower portions of the case. Vintage Mantel Clocks Mantel clocks were first made in France and were typically placed above the fireplace alongside vases or sculptural figurines. Also known as chamber clocks, early mantel clocks oftentimes had handles, enhancing their practical function as portable timekeeping devices that could be easily picked up and moved from mantel to bookshelf to tabletop; however, later versions departed from this design. Vintage mantel clocks, especially those made during the Art Deco period and mid-century, are valued today for their simple yet elegant geometric designs. Antique Cuckoo Clocks Cuckoo clocks were first made during the 18th century in the Black Forest region of southwestern Germany, although they also have a long history in Switzerland and Austria. These clocks are of course famous for the automaton cuckoo bird that moves in tandem with musical notes each time the clock strikes the hour. Cuckoo clocks are prized for their lively, interactive quality and handmade, intricately carved designs. Antique versions are typically decorated with forest and hunting scenes and include animal motifs, most notably hounds, deer, rabbits, pheasants, and other woodland creatures. Antique Grandfather Clocks Grandfather clocks are named after the 1876 song “My Grandfather’s Clock” (“My grandfather’s clock was too large for the shelf, So it stood ninety years on the floor”). Also called long-case, tall-case clocks, and floor clocks, grandfather clocks are freestanding, weight-driven pendulum clocks, often outfitted with elaborate ornamentation, especially on the hood of the case. Invented by the English clockmaker William Clement in 1670, the grandfather clock quickly became popular across Europe and assumed a variety of forms. American grandfather clocks, such as those made in 19th-century New England, are usually eight feet tall and exhibit a wide, sturdy base, whereas French clocks often have slim bodies and flat or slightly rounded hoods. Many antique grandfather clocks include highly detailed metal dials illustrating the passage of the sun and phases of the moon. (Condition: Pre-Owned)

Orton, Preston & Co. 30 Hour T&S Wooden Works Clock, Working, BEAUTIFUL

This is a slight variation on column and cornice clock made by Orton, Preston, & Co, ca. 1835-1837. It is currently working. Orton, Preston & Co. 30 Hour T&S Wooden Works Clock, Working, BEAUTIFUL Orton, Preston & Co. 30 Hour T&S Wooden Works Clock, Working, BEAUTIFUL Click images to enlarge Description Heritage Matters ORTON, PRESTON, & CO. CLOCK ORIGINAL CASE, MOVEMENT, & MOST PARTS 30 HOUR T&S CIRCA 1837 - 1837 This is a variation on a "Column and Cornice" clock made by Orton, Preston & Co., of Farmington, Connecticut. Details about this company are somewhat lacking; some researchers believe they bought some of their movements from Ephraim Downs. It is pretty well established that they purchased some of the equipment from Marsh and Gilbert after Marsh relocated to Ohio about 1834. Other of their movements are very similar to those made by Marsh & Gilbert. The movement in this clock appears to be one of those, and I believe is Type 7.153. This type movement can be seen in Eli Terry and the Connecticut Shelf Clock by Kenneth D. Roberts and Snowden Taylor, Figure 164, page 298. The firm seems to have been operational circa 1835 through 1837. I have also read that while their production took place in the twilight of the wooden works era, they were aiming for a more affluent clientele that the more common half column and splat clocks were geared towards. The workmanship and appearance of this clock is certainly consistent with that! This clock stands approximately 34 inches tall, 20 inches wide, and 7 inches deep. The movement is a 30 hour time and strike (on the hour only). The small uppermost glass is original, as (I believe) is the dial glass. The lower two glasses are old; I doubt however that the mirror is original. The lower glass may be original, but I cannot guarantee that. It has been nicely refinished. The dial, hands, pendulum bob, and weights are original. One toe on one of the claw feet has broken off. The weight cords were replaced pretty recently and the movement is clean. All I did to the movement was to lubricate it where appropriate. It has been running and striking nicely ever since. Though presently working, please note I sell all electrical and mechanical devices in "AS-IS" condition as they can easily get out of adjustment or even broken in transit. On top of that, I have read that when new, these wooden movements were expected to have a 20 year life expectancy--yet here we are, nearly 200 years later! You still have a 30 day inspection period during which the item can be returned or any reason--however it must be returned in the same condition in which I shipped it, meaning if there is damage, an insurance claim must be made. Please ask questions and study the photos carefully, as they are part of the description. By the way, for safety, the weights will be shipped in a separate box at no additional charge to you. Should there be a problem with your purchase, please contact me directly through the eBay mail system. I can and will do the same things directly that I would through eBay, and probably more quickly.
