Antique American Clocks
Brewster Manufacturing Co. miniature Empire, 1852-1854.
BMC is the successor to Brewster
& Ingrahams; note that the label has an overpaste on the original manufacturer's name, likely B&I.
Indeed, the ribbed
movement is signed "Brewster & Ingrahams, Bristol CT".
The adorable little case (20.25 inches tall) is veneered in mahogany
with no significant losses; the dial glass is modern, the center glass original with discoloration, and the spectacular lower tablet
appears to me to be a replacement on newer glass.
I could be wrong.
The metal dial is an old repaint, the hands period.
The signed, spring-driven, time-and-strike movement is running and striking on the wire gong on cue.
A good label inside.
These clocks are uncommon; I can find only one in the Antique Clocks Price Guide under B&I, and only three clocks listed for BMC,
none of which is this model.
Can I return my clock if I don't like it?
Absolutely!
Save your packing and box, you have 30 days from receipt to return
it if you are unhappy.
If the clock is not as described, or I missed something important and that is not evident from the pictures,
I will refund your shipping costs (both ways) as well.
Find another auction company that does that!
