Forestville Hardware & Clock Co. sub-miniature steeple, 1853-1855.  A second example, this one with side finials.  In contrast to #113, I think the sides here are walnut veneer, with rosewood on the front.  Both glasses are original, as is the painted metal dial, which has been touched up.  The hands are proper and period.  The dial shows age cracks and staining, the frosted tablet shows some wear.  The 30-hour time-only, pinned movement is unsigned and running fabulously.  The label is in outstanding condition.  Only two sales records on LiveAuctioneers, for $750 and $850 in 2015 and 2014, respectively.  $1000-$2000.
