Condition: overall very good condition, with a replaced upper door. An unusually late use of this case style with a brass movement. Sheldon did a nice job of making the top door, but the mahogany has a more open grain and the color is slightly off. Fruit basket splat is original with especially nice detail. Robust ribbed strap brass movement is unsigned but typical of what Birge and Peck used in their shelf clocks. Label is faded a bit, some tears, but still legible. Height 36 inches
