Catalog Description:

C.1870, Fairbanks and Co., St John, New Brunswick, Empire 30 hour shelf clock. The mahogany case has been refinished some time ago. Note this is not a simple case of a re-labeled American clock, rather a totally New Brunswick case, with a Connecticut produced movement, dial and tablet. See this model pictured in "Early Canadian Timekeepers" by Vikaris and Connell. Retains a neat original label depicting the front of the Fairbanks establishment with a well attired family gazing through the shop window at a framed picture and a steeple clock. Retains original tablet (with some loss) depicting a Hudson Street Church in NYC (this is the same tablet shown in the above book, rear dust jacket). Height 273/4"
