The only thing that keeps this from being outstanding is that someone has cleaned the top ad with some modern liquid cleaner and made it brighter than the bottom ad which is still 100% original (silver covered with years of nicotine); there has been no attempt to touch up the paint anywhere on the clock. Has proper movement and pendulum, good original dial and hands. Case with some dry splits. The original Baird label is dark and has the lower overpaste by Vanner and Prests of London, England. For reference, see Jerry Maltz's book titled Baird Advertising Clocks, page 94. Height 30.5 inches
