(standard round dome should not be too hard to find). These were very expensive when new. The hours and minutes are indicated on two silvered brass rings in the center, a shaft drives the plant gears above, with 5 planets. One planet points to the month and a scale beyond the months indicates the signs of the zodiac. The clock is unsigned. It is running. Height 8". Inside diameter needed for dome 8.5" , and around 11" high to clear the calendar ring.
