Massachusetts Shelf Clock with Rare Striking

Wilder, Joshua (1786–1860)

Hingham, Massachusetts, circa 1823

Desription

This eight-day, time and strike Massachusetts shelf is signed on the dial, Warranted by J. Wilder, Hingham. The original finish mahogany case contains a concave “dish” dial. Cast weights retain their “duck bill” hooks. The original paper label pasted on the inside of the backboard documents the history and provenance of this clock. A Massachusetts shelf clock with a striking movement is rare, especially one signed by this maker.
