Mason & Sullivan Co. miniature grandfather clock, as identified by the stamped movement plate reading "Mason & Sullivan Co., New Bedford, Mass.," dating to the mid to late 20th century. The mahogany finished case features a broken arch bonnet with turned finials and rosettes above an arched glazed door, and the paper dial displays a hand-painted eagle with "E Pluribus Unum" banner beneath an arch, gilt floral accents in the corners, and Roman numerals. The chain-driven movement is housed within a stepped pedestal base and includes a single weight and a brass finished pendulum bob visible through the lower arched glazed door. The case presents in good overall condition with a warm, even finish and only minor scattered surface wear, and the dial retains bright, unfaded coloring to the eagle and floral motifs. Dimensions: 19 3/4"W X 76 1/2"H
