Description

to Frederick Wingate, Augusta, ME. The mahogany case has an interesting inward bevel; minor veneer repairs along the perimeter. The wooden dial is original and excellent. The very well made 8-day 2-train, rack striking brass movement is in good order and mechanically sound, although not of the configuration we normally associate with Fredr. Wingate. The top dial surround tablet is new. Weights, pendulum, hands, crank and hardware appear original and of the proper period. Height 33 inches
