All Original J.C. Brown Ripple-Front Beehive
 C.1845, J. C. Brown, Forestville, full ripple
beehive, 8-day time and strike in rosewood. Condition: The case has
been nicely rubbed down to show the beauty of the wood, and the hour
hand is a replacement. With these minor exceptions the clock is
totally original and a very nice example for a Brown ripple front. Typically these ripple front clocks sustain
unsightly damage from rough handling which takes chunks of the
ripples that are difficult & expensive to repair. For a JC Brown ripple front it is unusual for 100%
of both the veneer and ripple to be perfectly intact and for the
nice crispy label to be bright and easy to read. This is a very nice
example in excellent condition. The Height is 19 inches.
Case very attractive rosewood that has been
rubbed to a nice sheen
Dial nice for a J.C.brown shelf clock. A few
chips that arent obvious with the door closed.
Label very nice & readable label
Glass nice original glasses lower tablet is a
nice lyre image
Case hardware nice original
Movement nice original
Operation - runs & strikes correctly.
