The dial, surround and repoussé pendulum are all quite good (note dial surround with 2 peacocks). The weights are replacements and do not match. There is an alarm disc on the center shaft, but the alarm train is missing. The clocks strikes the hours loudly on a large iron bell at top, and then repeats the hour again at 2 minutes past the hour. This is commonly called a "prayer" clock. The consignor made a wall bracket clock out of a pine tree felled in the 1938 NE hurricane. Height 56 inches
