Condition: The bell and nut are new copies of originals. The short octagonal weights were made in Japan, proper copies. The brass case has a lovely brown patina, as do the movement wheels. Original black/gold 24 hour dial is perfect [rotates under the pointer at 12]. Overall a very nice example of an earlier Japanese clock, runs and strikes, but could stand cleaning. Width of case = 3.25" Height 9.5 inches
