Forestville Manufacturing Co. shelf clock, 1842-1849. A 15-inch mahogany case with a clean finish and no damage.  Note the ripple decorations on the front of the base.  The glasses are period/original, with a tablet of the White House and boaters on the Potomac, with some losses.  The contoured metal dial holds old, possibly original paint with the JC Brown signature under the mainstem.  The brass 30-hour, time-and-strike movement is signed Forestville; it is running and striking reliably.  There is a good label inside on the backwall.  A nice example. $150–$300.
