Found a clock

Antique Parlor Clock 2
I found this clock as I was cleaning out crawl spaces upstairs in my house. Now by looking at it I can tell that it is an old clock.
I have found some clocks online that kind of match, however there are a couple differences.
I have been told by a couple people who do work with clocks that this thing is over 150years old, but I can't find anything to help with that.
If anyone can help me, that would be great.
Note from Bill: Your clock is a parlor clock and appears to be from one of the large American clock companies from Connecticut.
They were made from about 1870 - the early 1900's. If you remove the hands and the dial, there is probably a makers name engraved in the brass plates that will help narrowing down the search for information on the particular clock you have.
Thank you, Bill
