This clock is a well above average example with original finish. The mahogany veneer on the case is very nice with a small chip on the upper right edge and a chip on the base. The signed dial is extra nice. The top glass is original. The painted tablet is not typical of what you would see in a NY clock, but is very old. These New York State makers did things a little different from those in Connecticut. The mirror is also very old and looks to be original. The clock has a nice set of glass door knobs. Munger clocks are getting increasingly difficult to find and this example is quite nice. Height 40 inches
