Condition: Overall excellent condition, original movement, dial, hands weight and hardware. The finish has been cleaned and a bit dull, but has been there a long time. There is a similar clock in the Henry Ford Museum (see Distin and Bishop, page 92, fig 186). Best part of this clock is the original instruction paper which states: "Wind up this clock on Monday morning, and Thursday afternoon", carefully penned in early script. Weight tie off is modern (easy to change). Height 26 inches
