best described as a modified ÒDachluhrÓ, the angled top with a flat section in the center and each side. Case retains its original veneer, with some minor chips and repairs. The well made Viennese movement, has 5 wheels in the train, winds to the left. The ÒtailÓ of the minute hand has been missing for some time. One shortcoming is that the turned brass top support for the pendulum has been moved, leaving 3 extra holes in the case back. Numerals have been recently painted and are a bit wider than this age of clock calls for, however they are very well done. Threaded thumb-turn stabilizers for case bottom are lacking [bases are there], Otherwise in very good original condition. Dial diameter 7Ò Overall Ht = 37Ó
