This is a cute clock, with skeletonized front plate and with the verge visible in the center. Unlike the swing clocks with chaff cutter escapement, this one has a single escape wheel, with the verge moving in and out of the teeth at a right angle. The white alabaster case has some small chips and is dark at the top from oil. Still it is in overall good condition and seems to run briskly. Height 9.5 inches
