of these models in the sale. At some point in its life the original movement got separated and a good clockmaker found one that bolted in correctly, except that the winding arbors were a little farther apart. So the wooden dial had to be plugged and 2 new holes drilled. This was done some time ago, and very well stained, but it is apparent on close inspection; one tapered glue block missing from right side. So we leave it to you, the average person would never see these and it will certainly add to anyone's decor. Height 38 inches
