the mahogany case has been nicely refinished, movement cleaned and re-strung. This case has about the nicest original inside wall paper and label that we have seen. Eagle is original (been re-gilded on front). Orig dial has a chip near 9 and a smaller chip near 3, other minor roughness. Munger style lead pulleys. Retains orig wavy mirror (possible re-silvered) and metal dial surround. Proper round iron weights. A very clean clock, running briskly and keeping time. For info on this Munger and other New York clocks, see the book "An Empire in Time", pages 94-96. Height 38.5 inches
