Antique American Clocks
Brewster Manufacturing Co. miniature Empire, 1852-1854.
The label is an overpaste on a Brewster
& Ingrahams label, the company that preceded BMCo.
The movement is also "Brewster & Ingrahams".
The 20.5-inch
case is veneered in mahogany with no flaws that I see; the columns retain the original marbleized painting and gilded caps and feet.
All three glasses are original with the original tablets; the bottom tablet has significant loss where the pendulum has rubbed against
The signed 8-day, time-and-strike ribbed movement may run with some attention, right now it is having some difficulty
getting started.
It does strike on a wire gong.
There is most of a label inside.
These miniatures used to be highly
prized, and still should be.
They are attractive, run 8 days, and don't take up much space.
I'm sure you can find a place
near identical example
last summer for $452.
