Ned had a dial made for this nice Hoadley movement, and the dial alone cost $250. The pine case is substantially made and has pleasant lines, now with a simple shellac finish, sort of a dark honey color. Although it would have originally had a large set of tin can weights, it has home-made lead weights. The pendulum rod and bob are modern replacements. The hands are newly cast of pewter. Note this clock was standing idle, as it has a shelf in the waist that will not allow the installation of the pendulum..the shelf is simple to remove. Height 85 inches
