This thirty hour mvt. is similar to a Eli Terry made C. 1800 - 1805. Points of
interest this Mvt. has a wood calendar wheel, the dovetailed rear plate is
pinned (not screwed ) to the seat board, has a noticeable smaller first wheel
time, the dial resting place on the seat board is shelf like (not slotted) and
the plate post turnings are not fancy.
