Birge, Mallory & Co. (attr.) triple decker, ca. 1840.  A 38-inch case with mahogany veneer and three sets of columns framing the dial, center mirror (period/original) and bottom door with a repainted tablet on old glass.  The dial glass is original with the original putty.  The top and bottom sets of columns may show the original yellow paint, but the capitals and plinths, along with the center set of columns have been repainted in gold.  The front and back feet may be original; the carved shell splat is very nice and may be period but probably not original to this clock.  The unsigned, 8-day, time-and-strike strap brass movement was not tested as the weight cords lack hooks.  It is very dirty and likely will need to be cleaned to run efficiently.  The embossed pendulum bob is period.  There is no label so I can’t be sure who made it, but the movement is identical to that in the Birge, Mallory & Co. triple decker #66.  This clock does not come with weights, but two weights that will work in this clock are listed in Parts (item 905).  $100-$200.
