Condition: this clock was bought from an importer in the 1960s, when a customer was told to pick out his case in one room and measure the dial opening and fetch the movement in another room. So we had to block up the seat board an inch or so for the foto, and will need to sort this out prior to running the clock. Movement is complete and sound, but very dirty; seconds hand needs to be fitted to shaft. Nice original hour and minute hands. Complete with pendulum and weights, note one weight needs a hook. Height 87 inches [218cm]
