(1) The black slate case has suffered some major damage especially on the top and back. A repair was attempted, but there are substantial losses, cracks, and gaps. Beveled glasses and dials are undamaged. The movement escapes and the calendar advanced during our brief test. The pendulum has been repaired and the suspension spring will need to be replaced. This clock is extremely heavy and fragile, if shipping is a consideration. (2) The clock and radio were not tested. Dimensions provided are for the French clock. Sold "as is".
