Condition: it does run, but struggles because the owners repairman did know about the "X" suspension needed after it was lost by the maid. He attached a long pivot and 2 notched holders on the original suspension arm, and it simply rocks back and forth in this saddle. Replacement "X" suspensions are available from Timesavers. Three turned feet have been added to the base and can be easily removed, if desired. Small dent in globe. The clock arm and statue are otherwise in very good original condition. Ht 51.6" [130cm]
