Catalog Description:

C.1845, Forestville Mfg. Co., J. C. Brown, Bristol, Conn. 8-day time/strike ripple door steeple clock. This is in generally good+ condition, mostly original. There is some minor veneer loss on the base, and a chip of wood missing along the rear margin, but the important thing is the veneer on the front moldings is perfect, and the ripple is intact. The tablet has some minor flaking, but none in the detailed stencil of Buckingham Palace. The dial needs to be cleaned. The original hands have lost their tips. The original brass springs have been replaced with steel. The movement is signed "J. C. Brown". Will respond nicely to restoration. Height 20"
