Original porcelain dial is perfect and the hands are original. This clock originally had a cooking pot cast pendulum that would oscillate between a pair of andirons (all 3 now missing). Movement is signed. There is a photograph of a complete clock on page 263 in "Mystery, Novelty and Fantasy Clocks" by Derek Roberts. Ht 16.5" [41.9 cm]
