Antique American Clocks July 2020
62. $150
Birge, Peck & Co. triple-decker, 1849-1859. A triple decker with a 32-inch mahogany-veneered
case in very good refinished condition. All three glasses are old, the bottom mirror period, the middle tablet likely a very
old replacement, and the dial glass replaced with old glass. The middle table is really quite nice, a colored lithograph of
the public square in New Haven with just a small loss. Unfortunately, the original movement has been replaced with a Seth Thomas
movement; this likely means that the repainted metal dial is also a replacement. I think the weights are proper for the original
movement. The clock is running and striking on a new wire gong; there is a full label inside with “The Breeze” steam train at
the top. The bottom portion has been lightly spray-painted green. $150-$250.
