Anonymous (not verified)
23 October 2024
Usually pictured with an urn or bust sitting on top. Red marble on the ends. Case is 11 inches high, and 11 1/2 inches wide. A "clock improver" person cut a slit in the wood base to access the pendulum. Evidently the 4 inch hole in the back wasn't adequate. 8 day, strikes hour and half hour on a gong. 2 piece porcelain dial is very good, as are the beveled glass, gilt sash and bezel. Complete with pendulum and back cover. Ly-Ansonia No.1000.
