Note the movement bracket is on a wooden spacer (OK), however the serial number on the movement does not match number on the bracket, although, it is of the proper type and age. The bezel on the dial has also been replaced by another old bezel and the changed screws have left extra holes along the edge. The pendulum bob has a new piece of sheet stock for its back. All these shortcomings aside, this clock has an excellent look, matching etched pattern hardware, and of course a reliable Becker movement; needs cleaning; rod strike; silvered dial Height 49'
