The dial and hands are replacements, but the workman has done a fairly good job; I wish I knew where he found the set of mini porcelain numerals. Has a cable drive fusee movement; the frame rests on 4 turned feet. The base has age, but may not be original to the clock. The feet to the base are recent The old dome (which fits the base perfectly) is thin and clear and in excellent condition. This is not a production clock from Smiths or Evans, probably from a small shop; of good but not excellent quality. Height 15Ó $500-$700
