Antique American Clocks
Birge & Fuller double steeple fusee, 1844-1848.
A 25-inch case veneered in mahogany with
a very old and neglected finish; note the very long cone finials.
All three glasses are period and likely original, and the
images are well-preserved.
The original painted dial is signed "J. J. Beals & Co. Boston"; Beals was the marketer.
The hands are correct and likely original.
The 8-day, time-and-strike double fusee movement is signed "Birge & Fuller, Bristol
Conn" and is clean and running, striking on a wire gong.
A very bright label inside.
Everything original and nothing to
complain about; give this case a bit of attention and it will look great.
Schmidt's Antiques sold a nice one this spring
$1200-$2200.
