Condition: although a bit dusty from going with a dome for a while, this is an attractive and well made skeleton clock. For reference, see Robert's book Continental and American Skeleton Clocks (1989), page 94. These are always up on 4 pillars, the trains laid out horizontally like a turret clock, the strike employing articulated linkage to transmit the power to the hammer. Porcelain dial signed LeRoy a' Paris. Running and striking. Height 20 inches
