This clock has special VV Patent center shaft winding mechanism. Note also that the winding stem is 2/3 there, the last 1.25 inch got broken away long ago, but the stem still winds the clock if you pull it out about one quarter inch, tip the handle and wind. This is repairable by a good machinist, or can still be wound as is. The well made gong striking movement is marked with the Patent info (Pat 3628, 1885) and with serial number 1439 and matching number on the original pendulum. Note this case has floral incising and most of original silver and gold leaf decor intact. Height 9 inches
