Condition: Generally good original condition; some of the letters have been damaged and touched up with gold paint, however most are original. The top door does not line up well with the dial pan; original paper dial has wear in the 10-12 section. Hands and pendulum are original, and retains a great label. Top door latch is missing. Movement by Seth Thomas, (and so stated on dial) Note: Finzer Bros were good customers of Baird and he made several models for them; this one has the composition doors with the wrinkled tobacco leaf surface. Height 30.5 inches
