Dwarf clocks such as this, are sometimes referred to as grandmother or half-clocks. They were produced in limited numbers mostly on the South Shore of Boston in the towns of Hingham and Hanover. Many clocks were produced in simple pine but later more sophisticated designs in mahogany with fretwork and elaborate brass finials were developed by clockmakers known as The Bailey School. Well- known clockmakers from the period (1810-1825) included John Bailey II, Joshua Wilder and Reuben Tower. This magnificent example of American clock making is attributed to Reuben Tower.
