Condition: this clock is out of a home in Vermont, a one family ownership, only thing missing is the bow-tie to hold down the pendulum during transit, and the No. 4 weight got replaced with a No. 5 at some point. The original glasses are flaking, but OK as is, or fully restorable without re-doing them. Original finish on case is good. Bottom has been out at least once, and lower left glue block is laying loose in case. Original painted steel dial has some scratches and crazing, but is a nice example of mid-19th century work. Retains super original label that is coming loose and should be glued carefully in place. Height 32 inches
