C.1842, (dated) Wells Forbes, shelf clock
Anonymous (not verified)
23 October 2024
Bristol, NH, a New Hampshire bevel side and cornice with attractive mahogany veneer. The case has been stripped of its finish, and there are a couple of small veneer chips that need attention. Although the label has torn with a split in the case, it is complete and bright, and the dial, with green and gold spandrels is absolutely wonderful. Glass and mirror are both original and there are several old NH repair labels inside. If you live in New Hampshire, this one is well worth restoring. Note brass bushed movement with alarm is intact and with all 3 weights. Height 32"
