Condition: modest restoration does not detract; bottom tablet is replaced; top glass has 2 cracks near key lock (still with original putty). The movement has finely spoked wheels and superior finish. In good running order. We have packed heavy bob separately for transport. Round brass sheathed weight is a replacement. Nicely figured solid mahogany case has old finish that has been nicely rubbed down and waxed. Original dial and hands are excellent. Height 50 inches
