Condition: as-found, this clock has had a hard life; dial replaced, case refinished and tablets replaced long ago; glass nearly 80% flaked; graining gone from case; weight baffles gone from case [they removed because they wouldn't work with the deeper weight], and bottom of case replaced. Still, this clock has potential for the right restorer, and has a good signed movement and nice pendulum with damascene pattern. The later Howard brass label should be removed, as they were never used on this model. Height 29 inches
