OFFERED FOR AUCTION FROM MY PRIVATE EARLY AMERICAN ANTIQUE CLOCK COLLECTION IS THIS PRISTINE EXAMPLE OF AN ELI TERRY OUTSIDE ESCAPE PILLAR AND SCROLL CLOCK. YOU WILL NOT FIND A COMPARABLE EXAMPLE ANYWHERE OTHER THAN IN THE NAWCC MUSEUM COLLECTION. IT IS SIMPLY A FANTASTIC EXAMPLE. THE OUTSIDE ESCAPE P&S IS THE MOST DESIRABLE AND COLLECTIBLE OF ALL EARLY ELI TERRY CLOCKS. THE FEDERAL MAHOGANY CASE IS OUTSTANDING WITHOUT VENEER LOSSES OR REPAIRS.THE VENEER WORK IS ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!! THE SCROLL HORNS ARE ORIGINAL AND HAVE NEVER BEEN DAMAGED OR REPAIRED. EXCEPTIONALLY UNUSUAL TO FIND THE HORNS IN THIS CONDITION. THEY ARE OFF PLUMB ALMOST 30 DEGREES! EXACTLY AS YOU WOULD HOPE FOR. GLUE BLOCKS ARE ORIGINAL AND INTACT. BRASS FINIALS ARE OLD AND LIKEY ORIGINAL. ONE FINIAL TIP IS SLIGHTLY SHORTENED(I DON'T KNOW WHY). THE DIAL IS OUTSTANDING AND COMPLETELY ORIGINAL. IT HAS NOT BEEN REDONE OR RESTORED IN ANY WAY. IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. THE ESCAPE MECHANISM IS ORIGINAL AND WELL VISUALIZED OUTSIDE THE DIAL IN THE HIGH RESOLUTION DIGITAL PICTURES. THE CLOCK WORKS ARE ORIGINAL AND INTACT. IT IS DIFFICULT TO PHOTOGRAPH THE WOOD WORKS SINCE THEY ARE ATTACHED TO THE DIAL FROM BEHIND AND I DID NOT WANT TO TOTALLY DISASSEMBLE THE CLOCK, BUT THEY ARE WARRANTED TO BE ORIGINAL, INTACT AND IN PERFECT WORKING ORDER. AS WITH ALL ANTIQUE CLOCKS, ADJUSTMENTS COULD BE REQUIRED AFTER SHIPPING. THE ORIGINAL ELI TERRY LABEL IS WELL VISUALIZED AND INTACT. THE CLOCK KEEPS EXCELLENT TIME AND STRIKES THE HOURS ACCURATELY. THE CLOCK WEIGHTS ARE ORIGINAL WITH THE ORIGINAL ATTACHED PULLEYS TO MAXIMIZE THE RUNNING TIME. THE UPPER GLASS IS ORIGINAL WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE. THE LOWER GLASS IS A ONE OF A KIND REVERSE PAINTED REPLACEMENT GLASS COMMISSIONED AND EXECUTED BY TOM MOBERG. IT HAS A THREE SIDED BORDER AS IT SHOULD WITH NO BORDER ON THE BOTTOM PORTION. THIS CLOCK WOULD BE A SUPERB ADDTION TO THE VERY FINEST OF ANTIQUE CLOCK COLLECTIONS. PLEASE E-MAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS. THE CLOCK IS DELICATE AND FRAGILE AND I WOULD MUCH PREFER HAND DELIVERY BUT WILL BE GLAD TO COORDINATE PROFESSIONAL PACKING AND SHIPPING WITH FULL INSURANCE AT COST TO THE BUYER. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL CLOCK THAT WILL ONLY APPRECIATE IN VALUE AND A MUCH BETTER INVESTMENT THAN ANYTHING TODAY IN THE STOCK MARKET. TREAT YOURSELF TO AN AMAZING CHRISTMAS PRESENT. PLEASE E-MAIL WITH ANY QUESTIONS. PAYMENT IS BY CASHIER'S CHECK. I DO NOT ACCEPT PAYPAL. BUY WITH CONFIDENCE. PERFECT FEEDBACK AND MORE THAN 25 YEARS A MEMBER OF NAWCC SELLING ONLY THE FINEST CLOCKS. IF THE BUY IT NOW OPTION IS EXECUTED IN THE FIRST FORTY-EIGHT HOURS OF THE AUCTION, I WILL PAY $150.00 TOWARDS THE SHIPPING COSTS THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!
