The Pratt's dated and dark inside label is nearly intact on this nicely refinished case. The multi-color wooden dial is about as good as they get, with 3 winding holes, and the mirror tablet is old but may not be original. The rarer alarm movement was recently serviced, but the alarm verge and hammer are absent. The top bell, and pulley covers, remain. At some point, the two weights were painted white, ht 32" The gingerbread has an old finish and glass, but the dial has been repapered and the backboard also painted white. The pendulum is newer, supplied when the clock was serviced in 2008, ht 23"
