Condition: other than the original tin dial surround has been out in order to replace the top glass, the clock is in unaltered original condition, with great crusty finish to the case. Mirror is original as well as the cast pulleys, cast eagle pendulum [nice patina], wall paper in rear of case and an outstanding label. Great iron weights. Dial has a couple of small flakes. Although Oechsle's book shows Mungers with black/gold top decorations, Distin and Bishop show this same tin dial surround, and we find others as well. Height 29.6 inches
