This is a very nice balloon shape clock in restored condition, and with a good open escape movement. The case has engraved on it 'From the "Bunch"', "Alpha Delta Phi Club". The clock must have been presented to this fraternity by former members. The winding trim grommets have both slightly damaged the dial center from a novice using a key too large; chips are glued in place. The rigHeight rear foot has been replaced. The beveled glass is perfect and the hands are original; movement is recently cleaned and is running. Height 12Ó $500-$600
