Condition: the well figured mahogany veneer is still pretty good, with corner chips and a repair along the left side. The case has been stripped and the applied finish is quite dull. Still has a good wooden dial with original paint, and very nice cut and frosted tablet in the bottom. Overall a nice clock. For reference, see Distin and Bishop, page 152, fig 326 for this model on display at the American Clock and Watch Museum, Bristol. Height 29 inches [74cm]
