First it is 12.5 inches high, has a 3 inch porcelain dial-signed, cast sash, and a wonderful decorated porcelain panel below the clock, depicting a male making a fool of himself during mating season. There is a cast cupid on top, a lot of vines and other things on this BRONZE case. Why would anyone put new gold paint on a bronze case? Movement is 8 day time only. It takes a special winding key, which will come with the clock. I can't make it run like the previous owner said it would. Ly-New Haven #1104.
