Condition: the dial has been repainted by the Dial House in Dallas, GA. The movement has been cleaned and re-strung and seems to be running ok. Note there are 5 wheels in the time train, and winding is to the left. There are 36 teeth in the escape wheel giving approx 72 beats to the minute, so although the seconds hand rotates once each minute, each tick is slightly less than a second. Detent springs for calendar wheels have been replaced. Movement has early pillar design and interesting tapered plates and may be earlier than the mahogany case. Height 82 inches
