#56

56. $600

E.C. Brewster round gothic with remote fusees,ca. 1836. A rare and early brass spring movement. The 18-inch case with mahogany veneer shows some well-done repairs to the veneer, especially along the left side; the dial glass is a modern replacement, the cut and frosted glass tablet is original. The iron dial has been repainted and the hands are improper replacements; I’m inclined to believe that this iron dial is original to this clock. The 8-day, time-and-strike, brass, remote double-fusee movement with a rack and snail repeating strike is running and striking; it is not signed but is numbered 4713. It includes a flat pendulum hanger. No label but green paper on the back wall. $600–$1000.

I use the following bid increments to assign the final sale price. If your winning bid is less than one increment over the second highest bid, you are assessed your full bid amount.
