the weights that came with this are too small (needs 8lb, these are 4), probably why former owner sold the clock. Otherwise it is really in good condition, ticks and strikes with a little extra pressure on the weights, and with a good porcelain dial. Pierced brass minute hand is a replacement. Like most Morez clocks, this strikes the hour and then repeats the hour again at 2 minutes past. Height 55 inches
