C.1870, Fairbanks and Co., St John, New Brunswick, Empire 30 hour shelf clock.

Anonymous (not verified)
23 October 2024

The mahogany case has been refinished some time ago. Note this is not a simple case of a re-labeled American clock, rather a totally New Brunswick case, with a Connecticut produced movement, dial and tablet. See this model pictured in "Early Canadian Timekeepers" by Vikaris and Connell. Retains a neat original label depicting the front of the Fairbanks establishment with a well attired family gazing through the shop window at a framed picture and a steeple clock. Retains original tablet (with some loss) depicting a Hudson Street Church in NYC (this is the same tablet shown in the above book, rear dust jacket). Height 273/4"
