John Birge & Co. triple decker, ca. 1848.  A marvelously refurbished 32.5-inch triple decker with a great finish over perfect veneer, two new tablets, an old dial glass, and a new metal dial.  Note that the hands are mismatched. The strap brass movement has had some work done and is running and striking, driven by two old 8-day weights.  There are wooden pulley covers on top and a dark label inside.  A great decorator clock.  $150-$300.
