Smith & Goodrich, Bristol, Conn., C. 1852.
Smith and Goodrich were partners with J.C. Brown until starting the new firm. Smith departed the Smith and Goodrich firm around 1852, hence I figure this clock dates around that time as their names are on the label but only "C.Goodrich, Forrestville, Ct." is on the repainted dial. This simple but rare little shelf clock is only 12.5" high, mahogany veneer has the original finish, never tinkered with. The most unusual thing about this clock is the wood treatment on all 4 corners. Note the trim on each side of the door on the corner, it curves inward, so you have 2 pieces on each of the front corners, 1 on each of the back corners, making 6 pieces. Between those on the sides there are 2 pieces of glass, top to bottom. 1 of the 4 side glasses is cracked. The door trim although not curved does slant inward. Again 2 pieces of glass in the door, the bottom a scene of Buckingham Palace, is original, the top painted by Tom Moberg. Full label, unsigned brass movement, strikes a wire gong on the hours. Other than the one glass and repainted dial, original and clean.
