Box Clock Model No. 1
Attributed to Eli Terry or Seth Thomas
Bristol, CT, United States of America, c. 1815-1820
Atwood Collection 96

The components of this box clock are nearly all original. Eli Terry and Seth Thomas were contemporary clockmakers in Connecticut. It is difficult to concretely attribute unsigned clocks to either person because Seth Thomas often used Terry’s patented movements in his clocks.
