Condition: this clock is as-found, but worthy of restoration. The dial has been damaged with a large chunk of porcelain absent at 1 o'clock and with numerous other cracks. The dial center with the Boston retailer fired into the porcelain still good, with crack. Open escape movement appears to have all wheels, but is missing F/S rod and suspension unit and no pendulum either; is dirty, has been idle for decades. Also bezel over dial is absent with empty hinge showing. Still an interesting piece. Height 61 inches
