a German Westminster chime 3-weight pull up movement C.1920, with embossed weights and pendulum. Now this movement is about 2 inches deeper than the original so a cabinet maker very carefully added a 2 inches spacer to deepen the top half of the case (can be removed). This clock came from a restaurant and the glass was brown, and the whole clock is covered with a fine layer of smoke/nicotine (it is OAK under all the dirt). Will run and chime, but the movement is dirty and in need of service. Note original dial is intact. If all original, this would be worth $7500, so our estimate reflects condition. Height 94 inches
