The 1 1/2 inch porcelain dial is perfect; the movement controlled with a duplex escapement, the balance forming the oscillating light at top. The movement is sound and ticking, however it stops running after a few minutes, so will benefit from service. Note also that the silvered brass base originally had a square brass footing about 1/8 inch thick held to the base with 4 screws; base and screws are absent. Still, overall in good condition. Note the sister to this clock (which had footing), sold at Sothebys Meraux sale on June 28, 1993, lot 23 for 2300 dollars. Height 9.3 inches
