Condition: Although missing the pendulum tie down and upper baffle, this is about as good as it gets, with super original dial with good signature and orig iron weight with cast in numeral "5". The reverse painted tablets are original and strong with only minor paint loss due to abrasion. This clock has been in the Old Sturbridge Village collection since 1957, and proceeds will assist in acquiring earlier American clocks. Movement is properly signed, attaches to case with center screw through back of case. Height 29 inches
