Condition
The movement is clean and seems to run; hammers need adjusting. Alarm cord and weight missing, so we are unable to verify alarm operation. Dial is excellent. Hands seem to be original. Rod on folding pendulum is covered with a film of rust; brass bob is good. Hinged side doors with latches are intact, rear cover absent. Lead weights are primitive castings. ACCESSORIES: Folding pendulum, 2 weights , 51in x 9in x 6in
