Forestville Clock Co. OG Mantle Clock, 1860's This clock is in very nice condition. This all original Forestville OG mantel clock has a superior mahogany veneer case. Although it has a few minor nicks at the corners, this case is spectacular. The veneer is almost like new with no sections loose or missing. The lower right side has some paint splatter. See photos. This clock has its original upper and lower glass panels, full label and original dial. The full label is topped by an eagle with the heading "The Union..Now and Forever." and includes the Calhoun Printing Co., Hartford, CONN. The lower glass panel has a large portion of its back ground already gone. However, from a frontal view the missing paint simply adds to the overall look. The dial itself has been well preserved. The 30 hour movement is unsigned and has been cleaned. It strikes a gong on the hour only. The alarm strikes a bell. This clock was working at the time of this auction writing. 26" High 15 1/4" Wide 4 1/4" Deep 15 Lbs. with the weights The 2 cast iron weights, key and pendulum are included. As you can see from the pictures, this clock is an outstanding clock that will be an welcome addition to any early American clock collection. Because of their age, antique clocks will show signs of use and are usually not in mint condition. Every effort has been made read more
