H. Sperry, New York, was selling dealer of this oversized wall regulator.
The mahogany veneered case is 64 inches high and the lift up bezel is 30 inches wide. The wood grain is outstanding and the case overall is in very fine condition. There are some veneer chips on the left edge of the bezel that we did not attempt to disguise with stain or fillers. The case is so big it is hard to get it thru a doorway without banging the edges. The chips are not a big distraction, but if you want the clock to look near perfect you may want to cover them with stain, filler, or both. There is part of a label on the back which identifies the clock maker-seller. The old metal dial is 24 inches, still with all original paint. The large hands are also original. The pendulum rod is made of iron; brass ball is 10 inches wide. There is one brass weight that descends the right side, out of sight. A couple of pulleys on the top keeps the weight cord to the right. The only thing about the clock that is not original is a small piece of wood someone nailed in the weight chute to keep the weight from hitting the pulleys. The movement is clean, running, but slightly out of beat. Our research did not quickly identify the maker of the movement or the case. We do believe that H. Sperry was not the maker of the clock, but only the seller. This is one of the most massive wall clocks we have sold. Not in height so much as its overall massive look.
