Condition
This clock came to us from long term storage and the movement is dusty and dirty. However it is mechanically complete and tries to operate through all the dirt. Ten inch dial is surrounded by a 10.7" spun brass bezel. Deeply engraved brass dial is in need of re-silvering. Dial center, weights and pendulum are smooth; bob is perfect, weights very minor dings. The original corbels have been moved inward about a half inch each, leaving filled holes. On the base, the left return ripple molding is absent, around 5". The six legs had brass tips that are absent. Other small nicks and scrapes commensurate with the age of the piece. ACCESSORIES: Pendulum, 3 weights in box , 82in x 27in x 14in
