The scroll top and feet are both all original. The scroll top has had both tips nicely repaired. The original apron and feet are in very good condition. Great label on backboard is mostly there. Lower reverse painted glass is very old and possibly a professional restoration, the upper glass looks newer. It has an old dial/face that's beautiful and unique but has some wood damage around the main arbor with little paint loss elsewhere but still looks great. The strings for the weights look newer. It has one of the two original tin dust caps to cover the pulleys. It has the original metal movement plate on the back. The front door locks with a Terry style key that is provided. The clock comes with the old winding key to wind the clock.FINALS: Nice old solid brass ST reproduction finials with good patina, two of finials have good detail and thick brass dowels, one finial has a thinner dowel.

All teeth and gears look good with no missing/broken parts, and with some pressure the gears move. Movement runs for a short time of 10-15 seconds and stops so needs adjustment to run longer. Manually moving the hour hand it strikes the cast iron bell on the hour properly. This clock was used mainly for display the last couple years. It has a suspension spring and old pendulum bob.
