Condition: this is a clock that was purchased too quickly by the owner, yet still has possibilities. The dial center is from another clock, and the inner bezel stressed a bit to get it to fit. But that is not the hardship; the problem is that the winding holes do not line up. You will need to cut a brass circle and space the 3 winding holes properly in order to be able to wind this clock. The chapter ring itself has a couple hunks of missing porcelain, not too bad from a distance. The backboard is held on with dry wall screws; case refinished. These problems are not obvious in the foto, which is how the clock was purchased. Height 48 inches
