the stand is not original, and has been cut down a bit and the legs welded in place, the whole painted to match the original paint on the movement. The movement itself has some chips on the brass escape wheel, which can be dealt with satisfactorily by re-positioning the verge. Pin striping on the Movement is original, with wear. Great wheel is 9"; details on this and other Seth Thomas Tower clocks can be found in Tran Duy Ly's 3rd edition of "Seth Thomas Clocks and Movements", page 843. Note suspension bar is early straight design. Ht from floor 56", Ht of movement only 21 1/2"
