Condition: Overall good original condition, and running. Original cord has had a new end spliced on behind. The original silk screened 15" dial is also excellent. Chrome plated bezel has some pitting. This clock was made by the same firm that later invented the electric Hammond Organ (Laurens Hammond), in fact he designed the motor in the clock and on applying for a patent found that he had been superseded by a German nearly 40 years earlier with the design...so he patented the improvements and let them stand. Height 20 inches
