Antique American Clocks July 2020
66. $200
Birge, Mallory & Co. triple decker, 1838-1843. A very clean 38-inch case in mahogany
veneer with burl mahogany columns, a period carved splat, and two very nicely repainted tablets on newer glass. The dial glass
is also newer, as are the feet. The wooden dial is clean with lots of gold but has some stretch marks; there is a window to
view the brass movement that is covered by a liftable mirror from early twentieth century. Hands are appropriate. The
large strap brass movement is unsigned but typical of Birge Mallory, including the solid escape wheel; it is running and striking,
but the strike is slow. A pendulum bob is included; this clock does not come with weights, but two weights that will work in
this clock are listed in Parts (item 904). There is a nice label inside. $200-$400.
