Forestville Manufacturing Co. “Improved Eight Day Brass Clock” (triple decker), 1835-1839. A 39-inch two-door triple decker with three original glasses and two original tablets, with moderate losses. The middle tablet is a bit unusual and worthy of note, I think. The gilded, gesso eagle on the crest has some cracks and a poor repair to the neck. The gilded, wooden dial has been lacquered; it is clean but shows some horizontal “stretch marks”. The hands are suitable with a replacement hour hand. The 8-day, time-and-strike brass movement is unsigned; it runs for a short while but the count wheel on the strike side is broken and will need repair. There are two 8 lb period weights and a readable stained and tattered label inside. It stands on four ball feet. $100–$250.
