there are nicks and scrapes commensurate with the age of the clock. Dial has been attached by 2 large screws along the lower edge. Label is very good, a round spot in the center where a key safe or other device lived for many years. Door lock is missing. movement has had a new spring fitted for the rack. Seconds hand is absent. For info on a similar 'steeple' clock, see the "American Clock" by Distin and Bishop, page 155, which also has the same movement; see also Bulletin Supplement No. 13, 1980 on Salem Bridge Shelf Clocks. Height 41 inches
