Mark Zerfing acorn REPRODUCTION, 1971.  A 26-inch laminate case with rosewood veneer, old glass puttied into the dial and modern glass with a great reverse painting of J.C. Brown’s house in Bristol, CT.  The tablet is backed with cardboard.  The half-round door frame is also veneered in rosewood, the base appears to be walnut; the acorn sidearms are a bit oversized relative to the original Brown acorn clocks.  The aluminum dial resembles the originals, the hands are not period.  The 8-day, time-and-strike movement was made by the E. Ingraham Co. and is running and striking on the nickel bell.  There is a label inside with the maker, year, and issue number (1).  Looks good, and a LOT cheaper than an original!  One sale on LiveAuctioneers, for $200 at Alex Cooper in 2016.  $250–$500.
