It is wound by lifting the weighted clock to the top of posts and it descends as the clock runs. The spelter posts are often broken, but these are in perfect condition except that a little painted finish has worn off. The silvered metal dial is in superb condition. The hands are original, though two have lost painted finish. Movement is running, but probably could use cleaning. Height 10Ó $175-$275
