Single suspension bridge timepiece w/ rear center bolt mounting, steel “moon” hands, painted iron dial signed “E. Tabler, Roxbury.” Related clocks pictured in Foley P40 & John Ware Willard p. 107. Gilded “acorn” finial adorns the top of the case. Cast iron weight typical of the later timepieces with lead keystone insert & weight hook.
