310.     $50

Forestville Mfg. Co. triple-decker, 1842-1849.  A 31.5-inch case with some veneer repairs and missing pieces.  All three glasses are replacements, the middle glass repainted some time ago, the bottom glass with plastic decals.  The wooden dial has been repainted and antiqued.  The hands are old.  The interior has been spray-painted green, the label long gone.  The signed Forestville 8-day time-and-strike movement looks good but was not tested; there are no weights with this clock but weights are available if you need them for $50 – put a note on your bid sheet that you want weights. $50-$100.
