This clock case has gotten damp and the gilding is lifting from the cast white metal, and has been touched up with gold paint. The crystal is absent. Uses Gilberts premium No, 30 round movement, which is fine and springs intact (just dirty). Has nice floral decorations on the perfect porcelain dial, a painted and fired porcelain plaque of a young man playing a mandolin in the park, while his lady looks on (intact, no chips), and a porcelain finial at top. Original gilt brass hands. This clock sold new for $27. Height 14 inches
