Terry and his four sons formed the Terry Clock Company at Waterbury, Conn. Renting a factory building from the American Flask & Cap Company. Concerned about Terry's poor financial record in the past, the firm was incorporated in 1868. Though the Terry Clock Company produced some wooden cased clocks, the majority of their production prior to 1880 was for clocks with cases that were primarily cast iron, painted black and had various degrees of hand-striping and decoration. Not only did Terry receive some patents for movement escapements and cast iron case fronts, but also for fishing reels which the firm was manufacturing in the 1870s.'. Near Fine .
