The refinished mahogany veneer case is nice condition with some veneer chips, loss and repairs. The painted dial is in very fine condition with the normal signs of age. The hands are original. The heavy plate brass movement is in very fine condition. The top glass is original. The tablet is original with some minor flaking. The top is a problem. This case probably had a cornice top as the two corner plinths are not original and the old carved splat is not quite wide enough to fit between them. A picture of this case and the movement can be found in the 1<SUP>st</SUP> edition of "Eli Terry and the Connecticut Shelf Clock by Ken Roberts", pgs 269-70. The label inside the case is pretty much gone, but enough remains to determine the maker. You can chose to leave the clock as is or have a proper cornice top made. Would have been worth $1500 if original Height 35.25 inches
