Condition: the mahogany case has been refinished. The dial has been touched up a bit at the dial feet where the base paint chipped away. The well made fusee movement, now with a brass cable, has also maintaining power, Graham design dead beat escapement (with a repair to one pallet), and end stops for all of the arbors, including the verge arbor. Plates to movement measure 4.3" x 9". It is very uncommon to find a balloon clock of this size. Ht 24.5" [62cm]
