Description

Condition: Excellent overall condition with original upper glass and lower frosted tablet. The label is xlnt and indicates "springs with equalizing power" typical for fusee clocks made by J.C. Brown. The dial is original with a faint but readable signature. The "pie crust" ripple molding is in excellent condition. The only drawbacks are an improperly replaced door knob and a faint frosted tablet. Height 19 inches
