this clock came from Blue Ball, PA, and had stopped running because the batteries were dead, but has every appearance of being fully serviceable; there are two new insulated wires running from the movement to the top of the case. The best part of this clock is the large and original signed dial, which has been varnished over, but has no flaking. The pendulum is adapted from a Waterbury. Clocks from this company are easily identified by the unusual "stick" type movement. There are only 3 wheels with 2 weighted remontoire arms on the right side and a dead-beat escapement. This one has sapphire pallets. Special key for left door lock; don't lose. Top left return molding has been replaced; lower dial supports replaced. Height 32 inches
