Birge & Fuller 30-hour double-steeple with wagon-spring movement, 1844-1848. A 24-inch steeple-on-steeple with four cone finials and good mahogany veneer all around. The three glasses are period; the lower tablet is also period, the middle tablet may be a repaint. The dial has very old paint with some chipping and yellowing along the edges. The hands are period and proper. The small lyre-shaped, 30-hour time-and-strike movement is unsigned. It will run for a short while, the strike is fine. There is a period pendulum bob, lead with an embossed brass cover. The label is protected behind plastic. Thirty-hour double-steeples are much less common than 8-day versions; they are also two inches shorter than their big brothers. The last sale I can find of a 30-hour was at Schmitt Horan in 2020 for $1900. $1600-$2200.
