Condition: Rosewood veneered case in very good condition with original finish. There are a couple of veneer chips on two corners of the octagon top and a small chip on one back edge. Original painted dial is very nice for its age with some scratches around the winding arbors. Hands and pendulum are original, as is old Welch key. A couple of holes in case back where the case was screwed to the wall. For reference, see Ly's book titled Welch Clocks page 119, fig 195. Height 18.75 inches [47.62 cm]
