Catalog Description:

C.1850, Brewster and Ingraham, Bristol, Conn., 8-day time/strike double steeple shelf clock. This is an uncommon clock that deserves some restoration. The tips to all 4 finials are absent. There are some small veneer repairs and other losses that need attention. The dial has some paint loss around the winding holes, and still has a very good signature. The escutcheon is missing from the door. The lower frosted glass tablet is original, and the lyre design is of exceptional quality. The movement is signed. Hands are replacements. Biggest item to comment on is the center base of the clock has been drilled out with a brace and bit by someone who thought the pendulum leader hooked to the verge rather than its post and needed a recess in which to swing. (you can verify this incorrect thinking easily) It does keep time well above this cavity. Full label with stain at bottom. Height 19 1/4"
