One rarely sees a wood movement clock from Forestville Mfg. Co. There is some veneer loss on the base and on the top edge. The right chimney top is damaged. The upper glass is original, while the mirror is old, is probably not original. The dial has some minor paint loss. The hands are original. The stenciling is very nice and may have been enhanced or restored. The label with minor losses but fully legible. An interesting clock for J. C. Brown collectors. Height 33 1/4"
