Condition: the mahogany veneer case has much of its original finish remaining - never stripped. The lower door was made by the consignor (nice job), mirror is new; lower tablet by Lee Davis. Clock has unusual "Swiss Cheese" movement, as illustrated by Russ Oechsle on page 118, of his book; also see this model shown on pg 115, lower left. The weights are old home-made jobs, cast to good profile out of lead, so are a bit heavy, this clock has a loud robust tick with the weights. Wooden dial is still super, and hands are nice. Height 33.5 inches [85cm]
