Forestville Mfg. Co., J.C. Brown, Bristol, Conn., 8 day, time and strike, brass fusee-spring driven movement in a rippled molding round Gothic or "beehive" case. Rosewood veneered ripple molding case in original finish. Original painted dial has some minor loss at the mounting screws, minor wear and stains. Original hands and bone door knob. Cut and frosted tablet is period and proper, but needs to be set into the door as the mounting strips are missing. Slightly darkened label inside the case. Someone has cut access holes in the dial mask to allow for tightening of the fusee barrels (not visible with door shut): Movement is signed.
