The top and finials are inexpensive replacements, stained to match; bottom trim is from another old Vienna, was painted white, now stripped (bottom only). The well made movement is clean and sound, striking the hours and halves on a single straight steel rod. The porcelain dial is perfect; the tail to the minute hand is absent. The pulleys are modern replacements. Weights are old; one hook replaced. Rear of case has a slight bow to it, and left side of case is about 1/4 inch below right side (needs to have the basic case box straightened). Potential! Height 47 inches
