DESCRIPTION:
Stephen Hassem, Charlestown, NH, kidney dial shelf clock, in a mahogany case with full turned side columns, C.1825
CONDITION:
the glass is new and with improper putty. the case has been refinished; top trim absent. The name on the dial is so worn that it can be read only with a black light, or turning the dial in a strong light. The rear bridge got lost and has been replaced with a sheet brass version that is adequate. Retains original weight. Overall an interesting NH clock. Hassem (aka Hasham) made clocks in Charlestown for only a few years before becoming an inn-keeper. Ht 36"
