The large ball is 6" and contains an 8 day time only movement. These reproduction swing arms are the finest we have ever sold. We have sold many ca 1800's swingers for several thousands of dollars, but none look better and certainly do not run better than this one. The detail of the brass castings is superb. With the swing arm in place the total height is 36". All the ornaments on the swing arm are brass, and that includes the bow hanging on the cupids arm. We have had some that ran two weeks but have not tested this one for length of running. It has been our experience that the springs are tight the first few years but gradually extend the running time to double in some cases. You would expect a solid brass clock like this to sell for thousands of dollars. We have had one running in our home for years and average selling at least one each auction.
