miniature triple-decker shelf clock, generally good condition with some restoration. The column tops and bottoms have been painted with gold paint as well as the middle set of columns (shell portion OK). The wood painted dial shows wear and little paint loss. The strap-brass movement is properly signed. The hands appear original. The top splat has been painted with gold paint, and has a chip on rt side. The clock originally had some sort of feet (probably balls). There are a couple of veneer chips and little repair. A similar clock can be found in A Treasury of American Clocks Pg. 90. Height 25 inches
