The case is well figured mahogany with only minor losses; the transfer decorated lower glass of a lake scene. Note that this clock has winding arbors just like a regular movement, but you are winding time and alarm, rather than strike; the plates of the normal movement have been extended to accommodate this unusual train. This movement occurs in beehives every now and again, but we have not seen it in a steeple until this one. With an excellent label; original dial with blemish at 9. Height 20 inches
