Birge & Fuller sleigh-front triple decker, 1844-1848.  The successful partnership ended with Thomas Fuller’s death in 1848.  This is a very nice example of their work, with flame mahogany columns on each side, a wooden dial, and a nice middle tablet that has retained much of the decoration but lost most of the backing.  The lower tablet is a very nice replacement and complements the middle tablet.  The dial glass is also old.  The signed strap-brass 8-day movement is running without issue.  The weights are newer replacements.  There is a pretty good label inside with the steam train The Breeze carrying passengers across the countryside.  $250-$350.
