The clock runs with detached fusees, both set in a large wooden frame with an iron retainer. The highly figured mahogany case has a couple of repairs to the veneer. The clock has a set of wonderful tablets, the upper of a Federal eagle clutching arrows, and the lower geometric. The original dial has a couple of minor chips. The movement is properly marked, and the label is dark but is complete and readable. Overall very good condition. Details on this movement can be seen in Robert's book on Ives, page 233, fig 68. Height 27 inches
