Condition: although Dana had been through the movement some time ago, this clock sat in his basement next to the wall and moisture etched the bottom front piece of slate. We wiped it with some wax to take the white out of the slate, but it does have a pattern etched into the stone. Porcelain dial is perfect and moon hands are original; mov't still ticks and strikes. Winding grommets intact. Last cleaned July 1975. Mov't with Marti Bronze Award medallion. Height 14.5 inches
