Condition: Overall very good to excellent restored condition. The clock retains original gilt bronze numerals applied to the globe, original hands and original ball weights for regulation. The statue has been professionally repainted, and is mounted to an 8-sided piece of tan marble, freshly cut to fit (the marble alone is new). For details on this and other torsion models, see the extensive book by Derek Roberts, titled: Mystery, Novelty and Fantasy Clocks. Has not been serviced in some time, yet seems to be running strongly. Ht 26.5" [67cm]
