the case back is recent plywood, and the movement installed a few degrees off level. Otherwise the front is in "exceptional" original condition, with original stenciling very good, the MOP intact, and hand painting of two birds below the dial is xlnt. The bell is a jello mold drilled in the center. The sister to this case is pictured in Brooks Palmer's "Treasury of American Clocks", page 178. Nice enough to warrant movement restoration. Height 20 inches
