That needs to be professionally cleaned ! 

Is the base and hood in similar condition ?

Yes, its going to need to be restored. Its been in 3 pieces in my brothers basement for a long time.

From what i understand it pre dates the revolutionary war and is well worth restoring.

The clock face is similar, but the housing is slightly different.

Unfortunately i cant get anymore pictures for a few weeks. Items are in new England and i am having them shipped to my home in California by a transit company that specializes in antiques transport.

I inherited a few unique items i want to have appraised anyway.
Aaron Miller Grandfather clock
Strange tray that i was told was a cobblers bench, but no one seems to know what it is..(there's an open post for that one too)
Small end table
Foot stool
and this dresser.

My grandparents collected antiques, but most were picked over after her death. these items were left for me from my mothers passing.

As soon as i receive the items i will provide as many pictures as requested.

The handle was not meant to move. It's does slightly now from the rivet wearing the wood down a bit from age.

Than you all for trying to figure out what this is!

I don't know why. It shows sideways. When I click the link it shows right ways up.

I can get a photo of the bottom tomorrow...

Problem is we don't have room for it, so if there is no value in it, it might end up in a landfill!

Inherited an old cobblers bench or maybe called something else.
All photos I find there is a bench attached, but this one has no bench and a cast or wrought iron handle.
