Condition: Dana made a new back for this clock out of sheet metal and painted it white to match the case, actually is very practical; he also added a latch. There are a couple of small chips at corners, nothing major. Dana went through both movements completely and they are shiny and well restored. Top dial with open escapement is xlnt, bottom dial with day, date and month, plus equation of time around the circumference; the moon disc appears to be touched up. Running/striking. The numbered pendulum matches the number on the movement. Height 15.7 inches
