this appears to be one of the timepieces that Vince Han (Chicago) made around 20 years ago. The proportions are good, but the finials are not turned to the proper profile, and the top crest is carved toward the rear, rather than toward the front. Still, the general appearance is quite good, and an original No. 5, when you can find it, will fetch around 15,000. Uses a copy of the No. 2 movement; we hung the weight and this clock ran for several hours before we packed it. Height 49 inches
