J.C. Brown and C. Goodrich, 8 day weight clock,"Ogee on Ogee", ca 1845.
That was probably the firm name of the company that produced this clock, although no such labels have been reported according to Kenneth D. Roberts and Snowden Taylor, in their book, "Jonathan Clark Brown and the Forrestville Manufacturing Company". The label in the case and the 8 day brass OG movement, are both signed, "Forrestville Manufacturing Company". This clock case and label are pictured on page 15 of their book and the movement pictured on page 75. This is an excellent example of this rare clock. Very few are known to exist outside of museums. The 31 inches mahogany veneer case has a few edge chips and small repairs as might be expected from a clock this old, but I think any museum would be glad to have it. Painted zinc dial has not been touched, and of course has a little paint loss mainly in the outer edges. Both glasses are original and the tablet has an excellent eglomise pattern. Good label with minor loss in the weight chutes, original hands, period weights, movement clean and in good running order.
