Catalog Description:

C.1845, J. C. Brown, Forestville, Conn., 8-day time and strike, full ripple steeple clock. The ripple is bold and all intact; mahogany sides have some chips near the peak and a repair on the right side where the angeled section meets the side. The original signed painted dial has some paint loss around the mounting screws and winding arbors, but is overall very good (signature is weak). The tablet appears to have been heavily restored, only a small portion of the original artwork remains. The hands are modern replacements. The movement bears the proper die stamp of the maker. The blue label is dark but readable. The dial mounting blocks have been replaced with white pine. Still, for what comes to market today, this is generally a good example of a Brown ripple steeple. Height 20 inches
