Condition: somehow the brass base of this clock came into contact with mercury, which has permeated the brass and permanently discolored it a gray shade. The pendulum is original, but one glass vial is replaced and is a bit smaller. The rack strike movement (made by Ansonia), has been left unsigned, the dial with JB logo. Has good open escapement movement, a bit dirty but runs through it all. Height 10.8 inches
