Description
E.C. Brewster round gothic with remote fusees,ca. 1836. A rare and early brass spring movement. The 18-inch case with mahogany veneer shows some well-done repairs to the veneer, especially along the left side; the dial glass is a modern replacement, the cut and frosted glass tablet is original. The iron dial has been repainted and the hands are improper replacements; I’m inclined to believe that this iron dial is original to this clock. The 8-day, time-and-strike, brass, remote double-fusee movement with a rack and snail repeating strike is running and striking; it is not signed but is numbered 4713. It includes a flat pendulum hanger. No label but green paper on the back wall. $600–$1000.
