Condition: an amateur restorer has left a serious one with some work to do. Needs a proper set of hands a proper pendulum, and needs work on the pivoted detent ['scape wheel is wired for transport]. Despite the restoration needed, this is an uncommon clock, and there is extensive information in Derek Robert's book titled British Skeleton Clocks, pages 150 + 151, and then again on pgs 168-69, which include a drawing that will assist you in the restoration. Note the detent arbor and arm itself is there; missing are the blade and passing springs. Would be $4000 if complete/running. Ht of frame = 15", overall on marble base 17""
