Condition report

The strike/silent bar has possibly been replaced. The gut that runs the chime is broken and it is missing the pulley for the chime weight. However, this clock was working in the vendors property but as clocks do not travel well, we do not guarantee them to be in working order nor can we comment on its time keeping abilities.The dimensions of the clock are as follows; 93" to the top of the brass finial or 87 1/2" to to of wooden block on case x 20" max wide x 10" max depth.
