Brewster Manufacturing Co. miniature scroll-front, 1852-1854.  An 11.5-inch case with walnut veneer and an original glass with a well-preserved black stencil and green backing. The dirty, faded, and chipped metal dial has the original paint and is faintly signed "Brewster Mfg Co. Bristol CT".  Brewster Mfg. Co. succeeded Brewster & Ingrahams in 1852.  The minute hand is a new replacement.  The ribbed ladder 30-hr movement is quite unusual and should probably be displayed without the dial.  There is a very good label on the bottom inside.  The clock is running.  AAC sold one just like it in 2023 for $350.  $300–$400.
