It is 8.5" high, 7" wide.It has about 80 percent of the medium green paint still intact. There is a 3" goldpainted dial with center designs, a great sash and beveled glass. The handsare no doubt original as is the rest of the clock. The movement is one daylever, running strong and striking a standing coil gong. It is most unusualin that a single mainspring powers both the time and strike. The mainspringis in a going barrel with gear teeth that power the time side and the windarbor also has a gear and click to power the strike side. It even has a racktype strike system. The nickel plated plates are solid and trapezoid in shape, and stamped Waterbury Clock Co. Nothing similar in any of the old catalogs.
