Description
This clock is from the final days of J. C. Brown. It houses a movement made by E. N. Welch who bought out Forestville. The few examples that come to light have been seen with E. N. Welch labels. The case is a cheap imitation of an OG with a flat front faux grained to simulate rosewood, which is in quite nice condition (some wear along the edges). The painted dial is in very good condition and the hands are original. Both glasses are original. The lower glass depicts a hunter in hunting attire, with his dog & percussion rifle, and is in excellent condition. The case retains its original dust covers. This is an unusual clock for the J. C. Brown collector. Height 24.75 inches
