Antique American Clocks
Forestville Manufacturing Co. triple decker, 1835-1839.
The rosewood or mahogany Empire
case is 36.5 inches tall on four newer ball feet, with a new dial glass, a repainted center glass on old glass, and a new bottom glass;
both repainted images are by Tom Moberg and are worth more than the asking price.
The finish on the case is mixed, some is good,
some very bad - note the base and bottom corbels.
The door pins are also loose, and the top door lacks its escutcheon.
The wooden dial is clean, possibly repainted.
The 8-day, time-and-strike, weight-driven movement is unsigned but has a solid
escape wheel typical of early Forestville Mfg movements.
It is running and striking on a square-base wire gong.
is a very nice label inside.
This clock does not come with weights, but two weights that will work in this clock are listed
in Parts (item 903).
