Russel Coe bevel case or "flat OG", circa 1840. .

Russel Coe bevel case or "flat OG". Clock purchased July, 2006. Weight driven 30-hour wood movement. Manufactured by Russel Coe, 87 Peal Street, New York. Little information is available about the maker. Probably purchased movements from another maker. Wooden dial, movement, pendulum, hands, and upper glass are old and possibly original. Mirror is a newer replacement. Based on identifying physical characteristics, I believe the wooden movement was most likely made by Elisha Hotchkiss - Hotchkiss & Fields, Id. No. 8.137. The poorly repaired main wheels were exchanged with another identical movement, and the winding arbor pivot holes were bushed with Delrin-AF® bushings made here in the clock shop. Clock is now in good running order and is an excellant time keeper. Pictures show the clock before any work was done to it.
