Large pewter chapter ring has some tarnish and loss of black shellac within the numerals. Large brass hands with evidence of hand-finishing. Bell with striped pattern. Some light rust on iron posts and plates. Iron fan with four blades and large cut-outs. Movement uprights with distinct feet. The side doors are missing. The suspension shroud measures just over 4 inches tall. The clock does not come with weights or a pendulum. The time train weight will need to be larger than most for a Comtoise clock.
