Description

Ca 1853- 1856, the years in business, J.C. Brown was President. Some flaking, particularly around the seconds bit, but not significant considering the age of the clock. This very rare clock with an 8 day, time only, balance lever (marine) movement, is unsigned, but clearly Laporte Hubbell is the maker. Octagon gallery with front edge rippled decoration; 10.5 inches rosewood case, all original, no label. Original hands, including tiny seconds bit. You should read the article on pages 486-488, NAWCC Bulletin, August 1994, to learn more about this J.C.Brown company.
