the weight and pulley are Victorian, can be replaced, and top trim lacking. The period movement fits the clock well, but small holes in the case back indicate it is not original to the case. Has good 2-pc brass pendulum, early beat scale, nice original hands, OK dial (small repair at 9), and winding grommet intact. Also case stabilizers still present. This clock most closely resembles a Vienna Regulator pictured in Ortenburger's book "Vienna Regulators and Factory Clocks" (1990), pg 79, left. Height 41 inches
