These are often called tail clocks, or hood clocks. This one is especially nice with a concentric calendar, with alarm train intact (click on alarm drive is weak), with rolling moon and with quarter strike feature. The dial was restored in Holland some time ago and is quite bright; clock runs but is dirty; strike is not releasing properly. Case retains original jacks, female trumpeters to the right and left and Atlas in the center, carrying the world on his shoulders. Left side glass is cracked. Height 58 inches
