Brass movement is signed, "Boardman, Bristol, Ct. Patented". There is probably a "C" that is hidden behind the fusee arm, that would make it read C. Boardman. Full paper label, OG type movement is running. Original glasses and old painted zinc dial.Ripple case is near perfect. Ripple around both glasses, base, and top. 18 inch mahogany veneer case of the OG type, top, base, and front. A couple of old, expert veneer repairs. William S. Johnson bought movements from Boardman, and cases from other manufacturers. Reference, "The Contributions of Joseph Ives to Connecticut Clock Technology, 1810-1862", Revised Second Edition, by Kenneth D. Roberts, pages 337-339.
