Catalog Description:

Forrestville Mfg. Co., Bristol, Conn." Ca 1836. Double OG", 2 door, beautiful 31 inch mahogany veneer case. If repairs were ever made to the veneer they left no tracks. 8 day, signed brass movement, strikes on a coil gong. Practically a full backboard label, wood dial is also signed by the maker. Very nice original glasses, the eagle glass has been rebacked, small cracks in the upper right corner. Period pendulum and weights. Doorknobs are original and latch correctly. There are some stretch marks on the old wood dial, but not bad for 150 winters of contracting and expanding. Reference: "A Treasury of American Clocks", Brooks Palmer, page 107.
