Birge, Mallory & Co. triple decker, 1838-1843.  A wonderfully restored 8-day shelf clock, 36.5 inches tall.  The mahogany veneer is clean, the period gesso eagle on top has been refinished in some way, as have the gold columns and capitals.  The wood columns have a faux finish applied.  All three glasses are modern with nicely repainted tablets.  The wooden dial has been repainted as well; the hands are likely original.  The signed, 8-day time-and-strike strap brass movement is running and striking on the iron bell; there is a good label inside and two old weights.  What’s not to like?  Horton’s sold this clock two years ago for $300.  $250-$400.
