C.1848, Birge and Fuller, Bristol, Conn., 8-day wagon spring steeple on steeple shelf clock.

C.1848, Birge and Fuller, Bristol, Conn., 8-day wagon spring steeple on steeple shelf clock. The case has some veneer loss on the moldings and the back corner of the base; other pieces are loose. The movement is properly signed. The label is very dark and not readable. The original dial has been repainted. Best part of the clock is the magnificent set of original stylized leaf tablets; they don't come any nicer. For more details on this movement and on the partnership of John Birge and Thomas Fuller, see Roberts book on Ives, pages 224-28. Height 27 1/2"
