This is a big and imposing clock. There are two false plates riveted together to secure the dial to the movement, so we are unable to be sure the movement was born in the clock; however the dial definitely goes with the case, and everything does fit together OK. The large 8-day brass movement has been cleaned and recabled and is in running order. With old pendulum and large iron weight. Height 59 inches
