This clock is in distress, and should only be tackled by a determined finish carpenter. The case has laid in an attic for 20 years and the glue joints have failed. Moreover, the case was painted with a graining kit top to bottom, to disguise repairs. Finally, the artist even repainted the dial with floral corners and a robed prophet of sorts in the arch. The movement is complete and sound with original pend, weights, hands, bell, etc. Dial signed: Rob"t Russell. Height 84' Additional keywords: longcase, tallcase, grandfather
