Birge, Mallory & Co. Empire, 1838-1843.  A beautifully refurbished triple-decker, 35.5 inches tall.  The mahogany veneer is bright and complete, the three glasses replaced, with the tablets painted by Lee Davis.  The top-most piece is a replacement made from old wood and a piece of trim is missing from the right side.            The wooden dial shows some wear from excessive cleaning, the hands replacements.  The brass strap movement with side-arm is running and striking; note the BM&Co stamp on the right side of the cross-piece.  The weights are modern, there is a period pendulum bob and a great label.  $200-$400.
