Antique American Clocks
J.C. Brown iron-front, 1853-1856.
A magnificent iron-front, 22.5 inches tall, with bright gilding
and coloring throughout and with MOP adorning the flowers in the middle.
The dial is probably an old repaint with a bit of alligatoring
of a subsequent clear coat.
The hands are correct.
The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is signed "J.C. Brown, Forestville
CT U.S.A." and is running and striking on a wire gong.
There is no label.
This clock last sold at Schmitt-Horan in 2019
