with Daniel Pratt overpaste. The clock runs with detached fusees, both set in a large wooden frame with an iron retainer, the same configuration as the previous lot, in the manner designed by Ives. The case has been professionally refinished and rubbed to a soft sheen (the mahogany is well figured). Tablet style is the opposite of above lot, with a Fenn birds at fountain in the lower tablet and a geometric in the upper. The label on this clock is quite bright, the Daniel Pratt, 2 Union Block, Boston, pasted right over the "Birge and Fuller" portion. The movement is signed Birge and Fuller. Overall very good condition. Height 25 inches
