The dial is poor with several repairs that have turned brown, and damage to some numerals. There is a brass enclosure around the movement that we guess to have been done around 1925 or so, as it has solder and other short cuts that would not have been on the original, also one pillar repaired with solder. The pendulum is a replacement, as are the weights, and they do not appear heavy enough; one weight has been extended by soldering on an extra inch or so. Still this is an uncommon item in this size, and is sure to attract attention. Will need restoration. Diameter of dial = 3", height of dial and brass trim = 4.25 inches
