However, this clock definitely retains its original finish with nice patina, and there is NO evidence that subject pieces were ever glued/nailed/or pegged on, nor evidence of a top being attached. The bottom board has been knocked of 2 or 3 times by broken weight cord, and is cracked, but no evidence of bottom gallery. Plus the original black/gold model No.25 label is still intact. (+ instruction sheet is loose inside) Has good 2-weight trapezoid movement, and original dials, rollers and hands. Could this have been a contract model for a school or hospital needing the accuracy of a perpetual weight calendar without the expense of a fancy case? Is it worth half a regular model? Height 35'
