C.1832, C. and L. C. Ives, Bristol, Conn., 8-day time/strike triple-decker shelf clock.

This clock has had some restoration, and needs a little more work. A small piece of veneer is missing the top front edge. The gilt areas on the columns have been over-painted with gold paint. The bottom glass is a replacement; naval battle on old glass. The center mirror is cracked. The feet are original as well as the gilt crest. The original dial is in very good condition. The case houses a large A frame strap brass movement with pewter winding drums and roller pinions. The hammer that strikes the bell is wrong and needs to be restored. Label about 2/3 remaining. One usually finds these clocks in poor condition, but this one is above average. Height 37.5 inches
