Condition: this clocks strikes the quarters on 2 bells, one bell standard broke (an old repair failed; these are simple spring steel mounts to the case and easy to restore properly). Bells and pendulum appear original. The round movement is of high quality with silk thread suspension. Most of these early clocks run for a couple of days. It is uncommon to have a mantel clock by such an imminent maker, whose name is fired into the original porcelain dial, and with the original hands intact. Height 12.2 inches
