Condition: a great looking clock cosmetically, but an extra set of holes in the backboard give away the marriage. Best part of the clock is the original CUT GLASS tablet in acanthus leaf pattern. The case is really perfect if you have a Gilbert movement for it. Interestingly, this case was also made by New Haven, with a head on the crest, and was called the "Rhine", in their 1880 catalog. Height 20.5 inches
