This large carriage clock is constructed more like a crystal regulator than a travel clock. The case is in need of a cleaning and polishing, and the rear beveled glass has two corner chips (new pane available from Carter's Clock Glass). The porcelain dial is good (minor abrasion at winding hole), and with hands that do not match. The hand painted porcelain insert of a Victorian lady is perfect. The clock has a French 8-day lever time/strike movement, with a modern Swiss replacement platform, mounted on the rear plate. Another minute hand and a rear glass will make this a nice clock. Height 10 inches
