Birge & Fuller triple decker shelf clock, 1844-1848. A renovated 8-day weight-driven
clock from the 1840’s, with a new eagle splat, three replaced glasses, and two nicely repainted tablets. The original wooden
dial board is in good shape with a large center opening to see the early strap-brass movement. The hands are correct. The mahogany veneer and finish are clean and polished, the label is largely intact, and there are two old matching weights and an
old impressed pendulum bob. Two keys for the doors. The clock is running and striking like a champ. A good-looking
example ready for show, 38 inches tall. Horton’s sold this clock in 2019 for $350. $300-$500.
