Some one has really done a great job of making this clock look good. The backboard had been attractively re-veneered (a few small bubbles in veneer), the case professionally refinished, and the movement cleaned and re-strung. The pendulum, dial center and pulleys have been nicely gold plated (pattern matches), and the original weights are good, just appear a little duller as their original gilding has long since been rubbed off. Clock is running and striking, and has nice old crank. Rear hanger replaced. Serial number 151608. Height 50 inches
