The tail to the minute hand is missing; the top, though original has 3 inches cut off each side, and the left and right top finials attached directly to the case (those 2 finials are new, rest are old). There are a couple of dry splits in the front door. There are no case stabilizers. The well made Becker movement with gold medal award insignia and is original to the case, ticking and striking on a coiled wire gong. The pendulum, pulleys and case hardware are all original. Weights do not quite match but operate the clock just fine. Height 48 inches
