This is a nice Riley Whiting, Winchester, wooden works movement. R. Whiting made movements in that location from 1819 - 1835. I have only the movement and dial. I do not know what case it came from. I presume it is from a tall case clock. The dial is beautifully painted and in good condition. Tom | |||

I love the detail on the dial. Note the gold stars around the winding arbors. Tom | ||||

Note how the seatboard is notched to accept the pegs from the front plate. Tom | ||||

Nice clock Tom, did you ever have this one running? Are the bushings in these made of wodd or metal? Maybe one day you might find a case for it, hope so, it looks so nice. | ||||

Kevin, I have never had this one running. The movement needs some work. There are three broken teeth, a common thing on wooden works movements. There are no bushings, although I did see a bit of wire around one of the pivot holes. I don't have room for the kind of case this movement would take. I will be selling it soon so it can find a good home and an apppopriate case. Tom | ||||
