Description
This is a rare example of small paper warranty receipts that accompanied the sale of wood-movement weight-driven factory-made Connecticut shelf clocks marketed by itinerant peddlers. Stratton (1809-1854) clocks have inside paper labels showing manufacture dates and his locations in Holden and Worcester, Massachusetts. His business failed in 1845 and he relocated to Hartford, Connecticut.
