23 October 2024
The fruitwood case has been professionally refinished without losing all of the rosewood graining. The tablets were repainted/gilded properly by Lee Davis. Retains original dial, hands, weight, pulley, latches and hinges. The lower baffle has been replaced and attached with Phillips head screws, which should be changed; no tie down. The cable is strung outside the bottom left pillar, but is easy to change (should run inside both pillars). The original paper over zinc dial is quite good with some losses and scratches. The movement and dial are properly signed Howard & Davis, Boston. A hard to find size, cleaned, running and ready to enjoy. Height 38 inches
