These are counter balanced hands and nicely made, some age cracks, but still complete. Under several coats of gray paint is some of the old gilding. The minute hand is 65 inches from the center shaft to hand tip, and is 104 inches overall, including the iron balance. (these are too long for UPS; you must pick up in person). We laid them in the snow to get the picture as there was no place in the house where we could shoot them. Square minute hub = 15mm or 5/8 inch, round hour hub = 39mm, or about 1.5 inch., with 2 securing holes at 2.25"/57mm. Again, no motion works, just the hands.
