the case retains its original finish with a professionally restored top and several chips on the bold turnings on base. The pendulum has a sleeve repair, which will need some attention. The crank and coin box are original. A small lever, which fits one of the strike hammer arbors, is absent. This lever activates the music hourly. Please see Bowers "Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments", page 152 for an engraving and brief description of this clock
