triple-decker Salem Bridge shelf clock. This clock needs some restoration work. Someone has painted over the gold leaf on the columns with gold paint and repainted the black. The lower glass is old but probably a repaint. The topside returns are missing and the upper backboard is now plywood. The dial is exceptionally clean. The clock originally had feet. This very clock and movement are pictured in Treasury of American Clocks, pg. 87. With a Victorian repair label from Portland, Me; an uncommon clock that can be improved with some patience and work. Height 32 inches
