Munger and Benedict, Auburn, NY, carved column and splat shelf clock, 2-wt, 8-day, with nice double head eagle splat and reverse painted floral decorations on either side of the dial. C.1830 there are several veneer repairs, mostly on the horizontal bands; heavy mirror is a replacement, entire case has been refinished, nice carved columns are not typical for this time, but look OK. Top glass repainted; no seconds hand. Well detailed paw feet are original, as is the interior wall paper and a great label. Despite a couple of scratches, the original dial is outstanding. Has all 4 original signed lead pulleys. Movement is stamped No. 90. Reverse painted vertical strips are just starting to flake. Details on Mungers partnership with Thaddeus Benedict may be found in the book: "An Empire in Time". Height 39 inches
