There are some negatives; the glass in the hood is cracked, and the lock to the door is missing. The case has pleasant lines, and is modest in size. The painted dial is a wedding scene, carefully identified as the "Kebbuckston Wedding", showing two couples dancing and a man playing a fiddle ..with onlookers. Movement is sound, ticks and strikes on a bell, but will need cleaning; note calendar gear is missing; hand on dial is for show. Has original iron pendulum bob with painted flower. Also good old set of weights. Will restore nicely Height 85 inches
