This clock has had a hard life. When new it was an extra nice case with interesting geometric trim, made for Bigelow, Kennard and Co., Boston (signed on movement, plus serial number 8486). The signature trademark is a little beehive with A-M on the sides at top of mark. However the clock was played with by a child, has lost one foot and the replaced platform is broken as well; rear glass chipped others fine, handle drilled for new screw. But nothing here is beyond restoration, and this will certainly clean up; movement complete. Heavy and larger than normal. Would have been 1500 dollars if in good condition. Height 7.75 inches
