- Lot Description
Henry Hinkley Mahogany Lyre Clock, Boston, c. 1830, the painted iron dial with Roman numerals signed Hinkley above the carved lyre midsection with reverse-painted glass, the lower box glass with scroll decoration and crosshatched pendulum aperture all on a mustard ground with veneered pedestal below, eight-day brass timepiece movement with recoil escapement, pendulum and iron weight, ht. 37 in.
Note: According to Paul Foley in Willard's Patent Timepieces, pp. 264-65, Hinkley led a very interesting life as a clockmaker, rubbing shoulders with Sawin & Dyar, John Sawin, serving as a journeyman for Aaron Willard Jr. at the same time as Edward Howard and David P. Davis, and working as a journeyman for Howard and Davis in the mid-19th century. He also served as a soldier in the Civil War. When he died in 1904, he was described as the "oldest clockmaker in the United States."
Estimate $2,500-4,500
Mid section glass is a replacement (damaged original accompanies the lot), lower box glass is original, old surface on case, dial undisturbed including signature, period weight and pendulum.
