Condition: this clock is a marriage of a well made 4-post movement and a former "slide-mount" case; proper length movement for the case. As most repairmen know, the porcelain chapter on a Vienna can be slid around to line it up to true vertical. Well when Bubba [as Horton would say] mounted this in, he picked up the movement, saw the chapter was crooked, then screwed the mounting bracket in crooked to compensate. If you straighten it, you'll have more empty holes in the back. Height 50 inches [126cm]
