Catalogue Note: Not much is currently known about Thomas Harrison of Danville, KY or items with his mark/label, making this piece very rare. MESDA Craftsman Database (Craftsman ID 79991) recorded an article published on October 13, 1826 in the Olive Branch and Danville Advertiser regarding a disastrous fire, which consumed the whole building that the silversmith shop of Thomas Harrison occupied. The article noted "nothing was rescued from the flames but a case of silver ware and some watches."
Good visual condition with some wear, dial currently detached from movement, lacking minute gear for hands, chain unhooked, crystal currently detached with two areas of flaking and chipping along edge, cases with some denting and a few spots of oxidation, chain and key with light rusting; retailer's label with discoloration, a few creases and short tears along edges, a small hole under "KY". Not currently running (see Catalogue Guarantee).
