I was fortunately in the right place at the right time and was able to purchase this clock built by Francis Sommer of Charleston SC in roughly 1875. The clock is 7" 7" without the finial. The pendulum weighs 16 pounds, needs extensive restoration and the suspension spring is missing. The movement is in good condition but needs cleaning and bushing of one pivot. The pallets and three trains are jeweled.
If anyone has information or pictures of the suspension for clocks of this type it would be appreciated.
