The mahogany case has been refinished and there are a couple of runs in the finish. Biggest problem with this clock is it is a 5 bell case and bell set up that got separated from its original 5-bell movement, and a 4-bell movement is now in place. There are several extra holes inside the case to indicate that both movements have been changed. As these were factory produced clocks, the dimensions are basically the same, the mounting slightly different. This situation aside, the clock has a great dial and wonderful sound, chiming Westminster on the quarters. Best thing to do is enjoy this clock as is. Height 12"
