Condition Report
The clock winds, runs and chimes, though it does not run for long, likely due to needing to be properly balanced and it will likely need some attention from a clock restorer to get running optimally. Craquelure and areas of loss to the enameled numerals. Rubbing and light tarnish to the brass. There is a weld seam visible along the dial’s squared back plate, approximately 3/4” from the bottom of the panel. The pendulum is likely a later conversion. Set on a later bracket.
