C.1840, Birge, Mallory and Co., 8-day weight column and cornice shelf clock,

in generally fair condition. The case has been stripped and needs to be properly finished; there are veneer chips on the cornice and base and a piece needs replacing on the lower door. The dial shows some signs of wear around 9 and the mirror in the half moon opening in the dial is missing. The top door glass is original while the two lower glasses are replacements, now with paper lithographs instead of proper tablets. The clock probably had feet originally. The strap brass movement is properly signed. Label is excellent; some modest attention on this clock would double its value. Height 35 1/2"
