Antique American Clocks
Forestville Mfg. Co. Japanned paper mâché shelf clock, 1842-1849.
The 17-inch scroll-front case is
in excellent condition with the Japan-themed gilt/polychrome scene on the front bright and clear.
The dial was repainted by
The Dial House and is signed J.C. Brown, the hands are appropriate; the dial glass is modern, the porthole glass is old.
30-hour time-and-strike movement is signed Forestville Mfg Co; it needs work, as the strike spring does not wind and the time side
does not run.
No pendulum bob with this clock, but a very nice label inside.
