This clock has had all of the self winding and electrical components removed. A winding barrel and arbor have been added to the great wheel to make it a weight driven clock; weight falls down the right side. The 2-jar pendulum, which originally had mercury, has later jars, & now is filled with lead shot (with an aluminum liner to reflect). The jar lids are absent, and the replacement jars were too short, so were extended with a piece of brass under each. The oak case has been professionally refinished, and looks quite nice. The clock runs reliably and makes an imposing statement for a lobby or similar use. Height 66 inches
