<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 632652, member: 6444&quot;]It looks right. These Connecticut shelf clocks all opened from the front like this. You can research when made from the label - address and other info gives clues you can find online or in books. I’m surprised by the brass movement. Their early clocks had wood movements but these are sometimes replaced with later brass movements, so you’ll have to research it to know whether it’s original (probably is given label about brass clocks).</p><p><br /></p><p>Condition is kind of rough, repaired and missing veneer, maybe repainted columns, worn face and maybe replaced but in any case worn glass, if movement is replaced that kills a lot of value. In summary, you’ll need to research to find out how much is original, and whether you can get it working. These were one of the first pieces of tech equipment that every family had to have and could afford so there are a lot of early to mid 19th century clocks out there, so condition and original parts are important to value today.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here’s the similar clock in better shape with wood movement: <a href="https://www.schmitt-horan.com/search/?auction=All&amp;searchfor=Seth+Thomas+eagle+splat+claw+feet&amp;sort_by=date&amp;show_thumbnails=true&amp;Submit=Submit" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.schmitt-horan.com/search/?auction=All&amp;searchfor=Seth+Thomas+eagle+splat+claw+feet&amp;sort_by=date&amp;show_thumbnails=true&amp;Submit=Submit" rel="nofollow">https://www.schmitt-horan.com/search/?auction=All&amp;searchfor=Seth+Thomas+eagle+splat+claw+feet&amp;sort_by=date&amp;show_thumbnails=true&amp;Submit=Submit</a></p><p><img src="https://www.schmitt-horan.com/auctions//0518/images/20153_A.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
