Condition: the clock has been serviced recently and is running briskly. It repeats the hour on request, but is not warning and striking on its' own. The 5-minute button is out of adjustment and is not allowing the rack to fall fully and give the full 5-minute count. However all of the other levers/springs are intact. The case is in good shape with much of its original gilding intact and all of the beveled glass is good. Dial and hands perfect. For details on this uncommon clock, see Carriage Clocks, by Allix and Bonnert, pages 197-198 and showing a movement very similar to this one. Ht 7.5"
