23 October 2024
The dial was repainted by the Dial House of Dallas, Georgia in 1983. The hands are replacements. The frosted tablet is new, but the clock comes with a distressed period tablet, now broken and reglued. The ripple molding is excellent with a very small bit of damage at the peak, and the case has been refinished. The brass movement is properly signed. The movement originally had brass springs, that are now steel. The clock has a very clean J. C. Brown label, and is attractive. Height 19.75Ó $600-$900
