Antique Riley Whiting Tall Case / Grandfather Clock c. 1815
SOLD $2,500.00 Sold: May 8, 2020 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
Very original Whiting clock; the only thing I see NOT original is one wire support for the bell. The red paint, fretwork, door glass, movement, everything's original! Tin can weights. The bonnet door in not hinged but has 2 clips to turn to remove the door. This was in storage for decades like a barn find Bullitt Mustang.<br />I will have the 2 escapement bushings replaced as they're u-shaped and causing the clock to run then stop. It was likely stored for that reason. The Masonic dial is untouched and perfect. There are no holes in the chimneys indicating finials were there origin
