- Lot Description

Newer body, bonnet and movement. Includes 3 older lead weights, circular pendant and winding key. Cabinet key also present.91 inches tall. 20.5 inches at widest point. 10.5 inches deep. Very little info is available about Moyer. He is listed in the article Early Pennsylvania Clocks and their Makers by Fred C. Sweinhart, published in the Montgomery County Historical Society Bulletin in 1941. Apparently, he was a Pennsylvania German Baptist who had a brief career as a clock maker, before marrying his second wife, a Mennonite woman named Christina Price, and returning to farming to support their twelve children. The 1899 book A Brief History of Bishop Henry Funck and Other Funk Pioneers lists his profession as "Clock-maker, afterwards farmer."In generally good condition, paint losses on the face and dial; not tested for working order. Merchandise will be packed and transported by the purchaser at their own risk and expense. A list of recommended shippers is on our website: https://www.conceptgallery.com/auctions/shipping/ .
