this is a well made clock with 6 spoke wheel centers and finely finished plates. As we have noted in the past, Evans was one maker that offered solid dials in lieu of fretted ones to ease the task of telling the time. The pendulum has age, but may be an old replacement. Clock is clean and ticks robustly and sounds the hour prominently. Ht 14"
