The refinished oak case is in very good condition. The case does have some problems as the bottom bracket is missing and the carved crest on the top is also missing. The arrangement of the top moldings is different from the catalog, with the catalog drawing showing the egg and dart molding on the bottom and the beaded molding on the top. On this example the moldings are exactly the opposite, with the egg and dart on the top. (Has always been this way!) The numerals are worn from the paper dial in a couple of spots. The hands and pendulum are original. Still, a lot of "Look" for the money. Height 39.75 inches
