For detailed information on Bingham and for photos of the unique movement in this clock, see Nawcc Bulletin, for December 1975, pages 564 and 565. The 17 inch silvered brass dial is signed, B. D. Bingham, Maker, Nashua, N.H. , and with typical "astro" layout with center minutes and subsidiary dials for hours and seconds. The dial photo in the Bulletin has a typo error on the dial diameter, shown as 12, when it is 17 (no known 12" exist). The mahogany case is well molded, with inset beveled panels in the base and panels to the sides as well (minor scrapes) The mirror back really lights the interior of the case, showing off the 2-jar mercurial compensating pendulum. The pulley, weight and all hardware are original. Height 89"
