This is an interesting clock. The movement, pendulum, hands and latches are straight Chelsea issue. The movement, serial number 3281, has been stamped prominently "N.H.BROWN". Brown, whose premises were at 90 Franklin St., Boston, was well known as a merchandiser of foreign movements in his own cabinets, and this appears to be his version of a weight driven office clock. Inside is a cancelled check to Foster Campos in the amount of $250, apparently covering the cost of a weight (Howard 70 type), and refinishing the dial and case. The tablet has been redone on old glass more recently. Runs briskly and keeps time. Height 34 inches
