This case was made on Cape Cod, of old wood, with an old jeweler"s label, meant to deceive. The graining on the case is poor and has been hidden under a lot of dark stain. The new iron dial has been antiqued to look old. There is no known example of an original Howard with a 12' dial (chapter ring) and case length of 33', and you can see the pendulum and tablet decoration are higher than they should be. Still, this is a very good looking and well made clock that runs well and would be perfect for an office or reception area. Height 33'
