Condition: this is another nice clock that has been in storage at Old Sturbridge Village since 1957. Minor case notes include: chimney caps are replaced and the returns are missing (we've never seen one with the original returns). Usually the baffle is gone too, but this one is intact. Bottom tablet is original with losses; original wooden dial is wonderful. For another example of this clock, see Ken Roberts book the contributions of Joseph Ives to Connecticut Clock Technology, page 68, figs 13A+B. The Tony Sposato example shown on that page is the only one we are aware of with a genuine label (several photo copies of that page exist in clocks). Finials are modern replacements, and of proper style. Height 37.5 inches
