Condition: the silvered brass dial has been bent and straightened a couple of times, movement has not been serviced in some time and oil is congealing. The pendulum is home-made, a brass ball at the end of a threaded wire; works OK. Note the originals of these had 3 wheels in the train, while this uses 4 wheels. 8-day. Ht of frame = 7.7" [19.5cm] overall with dome = 9.7" [25cm]
