in mahogany. This very clock is pictured in Distin and Bishop, page 140, fig 293. Bill Distin incorrectly identifies the wood as walnut. The clock appears again in color in Horology Americana, page 146, along with a close up of the movement. Although the case was refinished around 50 years ago, the stovepipes retain their original graining (with some loss of paint at the bottoms), other minor chips and scrapes. This clock won the "Best of Show" at Charlottesville in 1969 (ribbon inside case). The well made 8-day Munger movement with internal count wheel is complete and mechanically sound though in need of oiling; some flakes on original dial. These clocks have been bringing some record setting prices. Height 38 inches
