Condition: the Drocourt signature (a D+C on either side of a tiny clock), is below the gong base, just a little crooked and distorted. All of the external gilding has been rubbed off the case. The stippled pattern mask is still bright with gilding. The original silvered lever platform is intact and the movement is complete and sound and striking the quarters properly. Runs briskly. Lever in base for Strike, Silent and Full Strike. Height 7.3 inches
