outstanding condition. The clock sold to the current owner on January 7, 1986 at Bournes SPOSATO sale, session 2, lot 281, for a hammer price of $375. Since then the mirror was re-silvered and a small flake near numeral 11 nicely filled in. Retains a fine label. Refinished long ago, as shown in Bourne's catalog, and with nice patina. One of the most uncommon OGs around. In good running order. Ht 23.2"
