Forestville Mfg. Co. ripple-front steeple, 1842-1849. A 19.5-inch ripple-front steeple from J.C.
Brown. Good rosewood veneer on the sides, a less-common ripple style on the front. Both glasses are old, the tablet lithograph
showing the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. The painted dial is old but I don’t see evidence of a signature; the
hands are correct/original. The 8-day, time-and-strike movement is signed J.C. Brown, Forestville CT and is running and striking
as required. The label is protected behind plastic film. A nice example. $600-$900.
