Catalog Description:

C.1910, English, Mahogany Tall Case clock with time, strike and brass dial with rolling moon. The case retains original finish with fine crazing, beveled glass in central door and bracket feet. The dial has been polished with brasso, resulting in a loss of lacquer and some oxidation. The clock was 'professionally' cleaned and re-strung in 1997, and the repairman has the strike train out of time (hammer in the air with strike at rest), but this is an easy adjustment for a knowledgeable person. It has plenty of power to run and strike, just a little slow on the first note. The pendulum is an invar rod with lead filled brass bob, and the weights are well made brass sheathed units with knurled tops, and the pulleys similarly robust. Simple back-mount door lock is missing; available for about $10. Case height will fit in almost any ceiling; Height 84.5" $2,000-$3,000
