there are some missing trim moldings on the spires, and a right return molding is absent; there is an old molding inside the case that can be adapted. The brass inlay is in very good condition, some bits loose, and the brass side frets are complete, in the shape of church windows. The two time hands are original; the 2 smaller hands have been made to fit (look ok). With original engraved pendulum. Locks in both doors are intact. Ht 22"
