Antique American Clocks
Forestville Mfg. Co. "miniature acorn", 1842-1849.
J.C. Brown made three types of shelf acorns:
the most common style has side-arms and is 5 inches taller (#210), and the least common form is this one, with or without (as here)
French feet.
The 19-inch case is veneered in rosewood and I see no flaws.
Both glasses are original, the lower with excellent
retention of the Fenn pattern.
The contoured metal dial is original with the original paint and some wear; the hands are original.
The 8-day time-and-strike fusee movement is stamped "Forestville M.F.G. Co. | Bristol Ct U.S.A."; it is running and striking.
There is a dark green label with some losses but clearly states the manufacturer and manager (JC Brown).
This clock is as original
as it gets and in superb condition.
Cottone's sold a similar example in 2018 for $4250.
$3500-$5000.
