Catalog Description:

C.1865, S. C. Spring and Co., Bristol, Conn, uncommon, 8-day time/strike strap brass movement rosewood veneer column and cornice shelf clock.

Spring, successor to Birge, Peck and Co., for A. D. Smith, No. 12 East Fifth Street, Cincinnati, Ohio" The case is beautiful, been lightly wire wooled and retains dark accent trim. The gilt on the columns shows signs of age and the rosewood graining looks to be redone. The dial has some paint flaking; it is a period dial and looks great, also lines up with winding arbors, but the minute shaft is about 1/4" low in the center hole. Both glasses are original, along with the hands, weights and pendulum. The center alarm disc and follower are missing Height 30 1/4"
