Catalog Description:

C.1845, Birge and Fuller, Bristol, Conn, fusee steeple clock on case in very good condition. This clock was last sold on Tuesday, January 7, 1986 at Bourne's sale of Tony Sposato's clocks, as lot 243, price $1500. Mr. Sawyer's description was more than adequate: "Mahogany veneered case with 4 steeples and 2 doors, both retaining original cut glass tablets. The lower door opens to a fine paper label and fusee cones, and the upper door opens to a fine original dial. Rare 8-day brass time and strike fusee driven movement. Early repair label, dated 1879, of Leander Freeman, Willimantic, Connecticut, on back of case. Condition: some veneer damage and replacement, otherwise fine original condition." He should have noted the case had been refinished and some veneer is loose; height 26" $2000-2500
