Antique American Clocks
Forestville Mfg. Co. ripple-front steeple, 1842-1849.
A dark but well-polished finish on this
20-inch ripple-front sharp gothic.
The finial posts are wooden screws, the door handle ivory/bone, and both glasses are old
and likely original; note the period cut-glass tablet.
The painted dial is likely original with expected chipping along the
edges and no evidence of a signature.
The hands are old replacements.
The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is signed "Forestville
M.F.G. Co., Bristol CT" and is running and striking without complaint.
A good label inside.
