Condition: the dial mask does not fit the dial well and it is likely that the movement and case did not start life together. The case has been nicely refinished and rubbed out to a sheen. Hood door is loose and needs a latch to stay closed. The movement has been cleaned and re-strung; the old minute hand is from another style clock and not appropriate. The well engraved dial is signed as in the headline [note old English style long and short 's' together]. Height 86 inches
