Catalog Description:

C.1845, Forestville Mfg. Co. Bristol, Conn, 8-day, 2-weight, double-decker shelf clock, as-found with restorations. There is some veneer damage on the top edge and along the sides. The original dial is in nice condition for its age, and with original hands. The top glass is original, while the tablets are replacements (home painted). Someone has tried to restore the columns with faux graining and have brushed over the capitals and splat with gold paint.. The side returns on the top are new. The left cap on the top has a little damage; label has stains and mildew, but is 98% there. Still a substantial 8-day clock that will respond to additional restoration. Height.39"
