This clock has been running fast here, so I believe the pendulum rod is a bit short. Has a well made solid plate movement, serial no. 2,343,846 (with medal of honor stamp), and chimes the quarters on straight steel rods. Has a nicely embossed and silvered dial, and with subsidiary dials in the arch for Fast/Slow and Chime/Silent. Some nicks along the base molding and 2 tiny veneer repairs, otherwise original mahogany finish is very good. Nice tone. Height 14" Reserve $275
