The base has some paint loss around the lower edges. The original dial is a little dark and worn. The steel ball pendulum is original. These were patented by John Briggs in 1855 and manufactured by Geo. W. Brown and later by E. N. Welch. The early models have pinned plates, whereas the later version uses screws. This is the later model. With good old dome. This is basically a good original example of this model, and fortunately has been "left alone". Height 8 inches
