Condition
6.4.24-In my opinion regarding LOT: 4210- the carvings are very detailed, and they remain crisp and well-defined, I note some typical small wood losses, including loss of teeth on several bears, minor wood wear and finish wear, the current pendulum does not fit the clock, the wood pendulum stick was apparently broken and replaced while using the original bob (matches clock face), the replacement wood stick has no open slot to accommodate the movement crutch, thus the clock currently cannot operate, the three weights are encased in brass matching the clock face, chime responds properly as the minute hand is turned-quarter hour west minster, please see numerous images for your review
