the center finial was replaced incorrectly, but you have 2 proper examples to copy. There is a half inch hole, top rear of case added for hanging. No label. Otherwise, this is a superb original example of the Lucca, with good painted dial, hands, flocked black dust paper, and good gilt pendulum with pressed glass insert. Definitely worth making a center final for this one.
