very rare opportunity. Currently in the final stages
of tuning and restoration, this 30 hour clock with
63 pipe, 4 rank, 33 note wooden flute cylinder

patient professional restoration for more than a
year. The dial is a sight to behold. A work of art in

study this dial I see something new. Of course, the
original 180 year old brush strokes are plainly
visible. This clock was originally sold to the
August Spellier Company of Philadelphia in the
early 1800's. The case is mottled aspen. Measures
