This 150 year old column-cornice clock is about as close to mint as you can get. Someone will call my hand and point out a chigger bite here, a stretch mark there, but doggone it we don't get clocks this old any nicer. 32.5 inches high mahogany veneer case, period weights and pendulum, perfect label. If someone fiddled with the 3 glasses they left no tracks. The dial is the only part that is not all original. A note on the back says it was "touched up in 1961". Columns are very dark, have original flame mahogany veneer or were grain painted. Many references about this company, in the NAWCC Bulletins, or Ken Roberts and Snowden Taylor books.
