The ligHeight mahogany veneer case has dings and scratches and a piece of veneer is missing the back side of the top (does not show from front); contrasting line inlay is all there. The original gilt brass dial has fine detail and is in nice condition. The hands are original, minute hand with a sligHeight bend. The crutch for the pendulum is broken and there is no pendulum. The balance of the movement is intact, including the tiny chain, and it ticks robustly to full unwind. This is an uncommon clock that deserves, and will respond to restoration. Height 12.25Ó $500-$1,000
