8-day, time and strike in very good condition with original pendulum and velour covered base intact (cloth with wear and abrasion commensurate with age). This clock has been recently cleaned and is in good running order. We do not often see this tower model in a striking version. Derek Roberts, in his book, Mystery, Novelty Fantasy Clocks , devotes the entire chapter 10 to the myriad designs applied to this type of clock (including the Briggs rotary and the Horolovar reproduction). Height 20 inches
