with an original dial bearing an old signature of Aaron Willard, Jr., the case with restoration. Cosmetically this is a very attractive clock that was restored by Alden Webb of Beverly, Mass around 1950. The brass bezel and eagle are proper cast replacements; the tablets are new, and the throat tablet now cracked. The case has been regilded and the bottom acorn is new and with gold paint only. The pinned plate movement is clean and running; no signature and not of enough quality to have been Willard's work (it is nonetheless well made). In running order. Height 40 inches
