the case is in excellent condition and retains the original finish with minor wear. The carved crest has an age split just above the scroll beneath the shield. The dial is very plain in construction, and may be a replacement, however is nearly identical to others of this model we have seen. The pendulum has a broken suspension spring. The double comb music box has no teeth missing and a beautiful sound. There are over 70, 15 1/2" discs included. This is one of the earliest Regina musical clocks ever made. For reference to this very rare, high quality and ornately decorated clock please see Q. David Bowers "Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments" pages 210 -211. Ht 104"
