The mahogany veneered case of this clock is in very good condition with only a few chips on the base molding. It retains part of an old finish. The silver powder stenciled tablet by William B. Fenn is has nice detail and in good condition for this type (which is easily damaged by chemical cleaners). The painted zinc dial on this clock is original with some wear, particularly around the keyholes, and a few chips (a notable one at XII). The fusees are on an iron bracket which attaches to the bottom of the original movement. The hands are original. The label once had an overpaste which has been removed except for a few small pieces. The Smith and Goodrich label is dark, but fairly well preserved. Height 19.5 inches
