The clock has its good and bad points. On the plus side, the milk glass stand is original and in perfect condition. On the minus side, the dial bezel has been damaged, and the damaged portion actually cut off below the 6, and the rear stamped brass dust cover is absent. The original paper dial is fully legible, but with some wrinkles and gouges. For reference see Palmers Treasury of American Clocks, page 152. The dome is a modern replacement and fits fine. Running robustly. Height less dome = 8.6" with dome 9.75 inches
