Condition: The case is in excellent original condition. The original dial was painted by Martha Smallwood at some time in the past, the name C. Jerome applied as well. Since there is no evidence of a label, we don't know for sure if Jerome merchandised the clock or Litchfield. Regardless, it is a great looking example of the Litchfield papier-mache process. An access door on rear allows for adjustment of pendulum. Height 20.5 inches
