this is another of the HEAVY items from Blue Ball, Pennsylvania. We have not had one of these before, but we see that Stiles Auction sold one last year for $300+. We could guess the movement and pendulum should be worth that amount. Gisholt surely designed this to last 200 years, and this looks mechanically complete and sound; ticks. Suspension spring is still good, but came out of its notch when we tied it down; movement signed. Height 43 inches
